Subject: Re: [xsl] position within same nodes From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2001 15:38:29 -0400 |
Cheers, Wendell
What is the XPath to get the position of a given node relative to its siblings of the same name? Eg,
<blah> <argh/> <meep/> <meep/> <stuff/> <meep/> </blah>
I'm looking for an XPath statement that would return 1 for the first meep, 2 for the second, and 3 for the 3rd meep, rather than 2, 3, and 5 (which is what plain position() returns).
I'm trying to count the number of siblings and subtract the number of siblings of the same type, then subtract that from position(), but I can't get either of the first two parts there to work either. Does anyone have any suggestions?
