Re: [xsl] Position() of parent node

Hi Simon,

I guess that what you really wanted to obtain was:
 
count(../preceding-sibling::*) + 1

Please, note however, that the meaning of position depends of which
node-set the node is considered to be a member. A single node can have
different "positions" in different node-sets. As it was discussed in
this group just a few days ago, node-sets are considered unordered, but
there's an iherent ordering which is the "document order".

To that extent your question was not quite precise.

Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev

Can anyone provide me with the syntax for getting the position() value

the current nodes' parent node (and the parent parent etc. position()
value).  I seem only able to return the current position().
