Subject: [xsl] Determine the position of an element relative to its sibling From: "Ross, Douglas" <DRoss@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2005 15:38:21 -0500 |
I want to use the position of an element ralative to its siblings to construct an xpath to another element. For example, Input: <TABLE> <THEAD> <TR> <TD>Header Col 1<A class="sort">Sort</A></TD> <TD>Header Col 2<A class="sort">Sort</A></TD> </TR> </THEAD> <TBODY> <TR> <TD id="column1">Col 1 Prototype</TD> <TD id="column2">Col 2 Prototype</TD> </TR> </TBODY> </TABLE> Template: <xsl:template match="A[@class='sort']"> <A> <xsl:attribute name="url"> base?field=<xsl:value-of select="ancestor::TABLE/TBODY/TR/TD[<what goes here?>]/@id"/> </xsl:attribute> </A> </xsl:template> Output: <TABLE> <THEAD> <TR> <TD>Header 1<A url="base?field=column1" class="sort">Sort</A></TD> <TD>Header 2<A url="base?field=column2" class="sort">Sort</A></TD> </TR> </THEAD> <TBODY> <TR> <TD id="column1">Col 1 Prototype</TD> <TD id="column2">Col 2 Prototype</TD> </TR> </TBODY> </TABLE> Things I have tried in <what goes here?>: position() for $i in ../TD return if (generate-id(../TD[$i]) = generate-id(..)) then $i else 0 And various other things to no avail. I'm sure there is an easy way to do this but searching for position and element adnosium finds thousands of hits. My eyeballs are crosseyed from reading so many wonderful list entries about stuff that I'm sure will help me in the long run but are not solving my immediate problem. Thanks for any advice, hints, etc. Douglas Ross Developer, HTML UI Framework Kronos E-mail: dross@xxxxxxxxxx www.kronos.com
