RE: [xsl] XSLT - How to find the last element in a group of nodes inside of a for loop

["Chaudhary, Harsh" <HCHAUDHA@xxxxxxxxx>]

Worked like a charm. Thanks a lot. Funnily enough, I know about both the
position and the last functions, just never put em together.

Harsh,

At 02:10 PM 1/17/2008, you wrote:

Since you're iterating over all the competitor nodes with a given
zone, you can use position() to identify particular nodes within the
iteration.

So here, what you want should be

<xsl:if test="position() = last()">
   ... do your thing
</xsl:if>

Of course, I don't know what other complications there might be.

Cheers,
Wendell
