Subject: RE: [xsl] count(preceding-sibling ) not working From: "Scott Trenda" <Scott.Trenda@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 09:32:20 -0600 |
Adam, The <xsl:number/> construct is what you want here, but you need to remember that <xsl:number/> in itself is essentially: <xsl:value-of select="count(preceding-sibling::*)"/> With that in mind, remove @value (that's only really used if you're formatting a static number with @format), and use: <xsl:number count="*"/> That'll give you count(preceding-sibling::*). If you actually need to traverse the preceding:: axis (not just the siblings of the context node), use level="any". I think you'll find the native behavior of <xsl:number/> to be exactly what you need here.

I have a for-each loop like this: <xsl:for-each select="expensys:Lines/expensys:Line/expensys:Accruals/expensys:Accrual" > <txn:PSIBS> <xsl:number value="count(preceding-sibling::*)"/> </txn:PSIBS> <!-- More code here --> </xsl:for-each> The for-each selects a number of nodes, typically 5 - 7, but the value oout in <PSIBS> is usually 0. I know could use "position()", but after I solve this problem I need to apply a filter to the PSIBS value. What am I doing wrong? Thanks - Adam
