Re: [xsl] incrementing the index value

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you wantto use position() then you need to make sure that you only
select the nodes you want

If you do this:

	<xsl:for-each select="child::*">
		<xsl:choose>
			<xsl:when test="self::textbox">

then all element children will be selected (and get a position,
accordingly, but you only use textbox children so there will be gaps in
your ordering.

If instead you do

<xsl:for-each select="textbox">
		<xsl:call-template name="getintoBox"/>
then only testbox children will be selected 

using xsl:for-each and call-template makes things unnecessarily
complicated, it would be more natural to templaes using match= rather
than name= and then use

<xsl:apply-templates select="textbox"/>

I think in this case you want

<xsl:template match="Layout">
<taborder>
<fieldlist>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="Box/textbox"/>
</fieldlist>	
</taborder>	
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="textbox">
 <field name="{@id}" tabindex="{position()}"/>
</xsl:template>

Your code (and my modification of it) don't use variables so I didn't
understand this comment.
