[xsl] Accessing node-sets by index with position()

[Ryan Sawatzky <rsawatzky@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to iterate through a list of nodes in a node-set by index 
using the position() function, and I am running into some difficulties.

XML snippet -----

<info>
   <field>111</field>
   <field>222</field>
</info>

XSLT snippet -----
<!-- $set is the node-set containing the two <field> elements -->

<xsl:for-each select="$set">
   <xsl:text>Iteration #</xsl:text>
   <xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
   <xsl:text> is '</xsl:text>
   <xsl:value-of select="$set[position()]"/>
   <xsl:text>'&#10;</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>

This gives the following output
Iteration #1 is 111
Iteration #2 is 111

It seems as though the position() function is working, but when I try to 
get at the 2nd node by index, it goes to the first node.  If I replace 
$set[position()] with $set[2], I get the following...

Iteration #1 is 222
Iteration #2 is 222

So I know that I the second node in the node set is correct, but 
position() won't get me to it.  Does anyone know how I can fix this 
problem?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
--Ryan
