Fwd: Re: Fw: [xsl] Is it possible to reference the previous and next elements inside a for-each

[Ian Lang <ianplang@xxxxxxxxx>]

Your solution looked good.  I had been using the
for-each because I was redirecting to an index file as
well as generating HTML content for each node.  I
switched to for-each for the index file and
apply-templates for generation as you suggested but it
did not work as expected.  My navigation bar
generating template was using preceding-sibling and
following-sibling by default already.  The problem was
that the next and previous links still referenced
elements that were not part of the apply-template's
select statement.  I have a case of nested containment
like this:
  <toplevel>
    <container name="container1">
      <children>
        <child name="simple1" type="simple"/>
        <child name="complex1" type="complex"/>
        <child name="simple2" type="simple"/>
        <container name="container2">
          <children>
            <child name="simple3" type="simple"/>
            <child name="simple4" type="simple"/>
            <child name="complex2" type="complex"/>
          </children>
        </container>
      </children>
    </container>
  <toplevel>

In the style sheet I have this to generate content
HTML for all simple child elements:
  <xsl:apply-templates mode="createContent"
select="//child[@type='simple']">
    <xsl:sort select="@name"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>

But the previous and next links in the gernated HTML
also include the elements of type complex which I do
not want.

Did I missunderstand what you were suggesting?
