[xsl] Get Position of Node in Ancestor Context

[Ted Stresen-Reuter <tedmasterweb@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the position of the current node in the context of an 
ancestor.

For example, I have a form element that has a number of children 
elements, including non-form elements (such as P and DIV elements). I'm 
trying to retrieve the position of an INPUT element relative to the 
parent FORM element, but not taking into account any non-form elements 
(such as P and DIV elements).

Currently I have a template that matches "input | select | textarea" 
but because they occur in the context of a TD element, position() 
returns "1". I've tried using <xsl:value-of 
select="ancestor::form/*/*[position()]" />, but this just isn't doing 
the trick.

Any suggestions how I can get the position of the current element 
relative to a parent form element?
