Hi friends,

excuse my newbie question, but i cannot get it by the exmaples of the FAQ. 

I am trying to count my elements "col" for each node table:

<body>
  <table name="first">
    <row>
      <col/>
      <col/>
      <col/>
      <col/>
    </row>
  </table>
  <table name="second">
    <row>
      <col/>
      <col/>
      <col/>
      <col/>
    </row>
  </table>
</body>

i am applying the same recursive templates for the two tables
and i am trying to output following for each table, counting their corresponding cells.

TABLE FIRST
col0
col1
col2


TABLE SECOND
col0
col1
col2



By <xsl:variable name="col" select="count(preceding::col)"/> in my template rule for col
i get.

TABLE FIRST
col0
col1
col2


TABLE SECOND
col3
col4
col5

Thanks,
