RE: [xsl] Reg Counters

["Diamond, Jason" <Jason.Diamond@xxxxxxx>]

Hi, Lawrence.

You were probably using position() with <Name> as the context node. <Name>
is always at position 1 within its <Contact> parent (unless we're counting
whitespace). 

The following transform uses <Contact> as the context node when invoking the
position() function:

<xsl:transform version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <NewMessage>
      <ListOfContact>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="/Message/ListOfContact/Contact"/>
      </ListOfContact>
    </NewMessage>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="Contact">
    <Contact>
      <Name index="{position()}">
        <xsl:value-of select="Name"/>
      </Name>
      <Phone>
        <xsl:value-of select="Phone"/>
      </Phone>
    </Contact>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:transform>

Hope this helps,
Jason.
