Subject: Re: [xsl] Counting preceding-siblings with a different parent From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 16 Dec 2004 15:27:04 GMT |
I'm having some trouble understanding how to count preceding-siblings that have different parents. if you don't share a parent, you are not siblings. Perhaps you want to use preceding::* rather than preceding-sibling or perhaps you want to count your preceding siblings and your preceding cousings (ie, the children of your parent's preceding-siblings) count(preceding::*) + count(../preceding::*/*) Most likely, you just want to use <xsl:number level="any"/> or since you are not actually using any of the hierarchy and are going <xsl:apply-templates select="provider/claim/claim_line"/> you can use <xsl:value-of select="position()"/> which is (unless MK says otherwise) likely to be considerably more efficient than any of the above as it doesn't require anything to be counted.
