Is it possible (and how) using XSLT to turn:

<A>1; 8; 9;</A>

Into this:

<A>
<select>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="8">8</option>
<option value="9">9</option>
</select>
</A>

Thanks in advance!

In XSLT 2.0, use the tokenize() function.

In XSLT 1.0, you can download a recursive template called str:tokenize from www.exlst.org, and either use it directly in your stylesheet, or use it as a teaching aid to see how the problem is tackled.
