Hi everybody!

I would like to know if it is possible to pass in parameter for the
function from-ancestors
a reference of a element.

This is my example :

 <xsl:for-each select=".//name">
  <div>
   <xsl:attribute name="style">
    <xsl:text>margin-left:</xsl:text>

    '********* I would like to have a count of the
    ' ******** parent of the name element *****
    <xsl:value-of select="count(from-ancestors(parent(.)))"/>
    <xsl:text>em</xsl:text>
   </xsl:attribute>
 </xsl:for-each>


I have a error pattern match when i use this statement :
count(from-ancestors(parent(.))).
I have no choice to use in parameter "parent(.)" because i don't know
what is the name
of the parent element.

I would like to now if this statement is supported.  If not, I replace
this by what???

Thanks !!!
