<xsl:value-of select="$Colours[count(ancestor-or-self::node)]"/> I think that in the predicate the ancestor-or-self would be based from the variable $Colours, you want to count the ancestor nodes of current()? or store . in a variable to use. <xsl:value-of select="$Colours[count(current()/ancestor-or-self::node)]"/> Josh -----Original Message----- From: Ragulf Pickaxe [mailto:jawxml@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 3:39 PM To: XSL-List@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [xsl] Getting value of specific element in external XML document Hi all, I have the following problem: During a transformation, I want different Colours on some elemets according to their position in the hierachy. Instead of a choose-when, I have tried following: <!-- Top of XSL document --> <xsl:variable name="Colours" select="document('Colours.xml')/colours/colour"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:copy-of select="$Colours"/> <!-- Gives back the whole --> <xsl:value-of select="$Colours[2]"/> <!-- Gives back the value of the second colour element --> <xsl:apply-templates select="node"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="node"> <xsl:value-of select="$Colours[count(ancestor-or-self::node)]"/> <!-- Gives nothing at all --> <xsl:apply-template select="node"/> </xsl:template> In the template node, I have tried various things in the predicate, such as [position()=count(ansestor-or-self::node)] and the like, but nothing seems to work, except when I hardcode the value, which I obviously do not want. What am I doing wrong here? I have absolutely no idea why this is not working. The Colours.xml looks like the following: <?xml version="1.0"?> <colours> <colour>red</colour> <colour>green</colour> <colour>bluez</colour> </colours> Regards, Ragulf Pickaxe :-| _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
