I put the word test in the template and it is not hit.

Hmmmm it's hard to describe what I want to achieve as I am new (ish) to xslt.

The extNode code you gave me fills the text boxes with what I want in the template. But I down know what is happening.

Basicall when I call a template using all the the sub nodes of the current page I use..

<xsl:apply-templates select="$currentPage/* [@isDoc]" mode="Product">

..............

<xsl:template match="* [@isDoc]" mode="Product">

<xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>

</xsl:template>

But I wanted instead to call the nodes from the multipicker in uComponents I thought this would work...

<xsl:apply-templates select="$currentPage/specialOffers/MultiNodePicker/nodeId" mode="Product">

...........................

<xsl:template match="nodeId" mode="Product">

<xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>

</xsl:template>

When I used your code

<xsl:template match="nodeId" mode="Product">
        <!-- Find with extension -->
        <xsl:variable name="extNode" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(.)" />
        
        <!-- Find by XPath -->
        <xsl:variable name="xpathNode" select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::root//*[@id = .]" />
       
        <!-- Pick either one for scrutinizing: -->
        <textarea rows="8" cols="40"><xsl:copy-of select="$xpathNode" /></textarea>
</xsl:template>

I got a bunch of text boxes each with the right data in but couldn't then apply it the way the first example works.

Hmmm my lack of knowledge means my question sounds backwards...

OK see if this explanation helps.

This works fine. It's where I call a list from the currentpage's sub pages.

I would like to achieve the same result from the contents of a MultiNodePicker...

I thought something like this would work.

It doesn't all the template at all.

Thanks I looked closer at what you wrote and the solution is...

Posted for anyone else looking.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

<xsl:template match="/">
  <h2><xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/copyHeader"/></h2>
  <xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/copyContent" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

  <xsl:apply-templates select="$currentPage/specialOffers/MultiNodePicker/nodeId" mode="Product">
<xsl:with-param name="currentCurrency" select="$currentCurrency" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="specialOffers/MultiNodePicker/nodeId" mode="Product">
<xsl:variable name="extNode" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(.)" />
<h1><xsl:value-of select="$extNode/productTitle"/></h1>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
