RE: [xsl] preceding-sibling question and node set as param to tem plate

Hi Matt

1) nearly.
> count(preceding-sibling::node()/@ss:Index/preceding-sibling::node())
you're asking for the preceding sibling of an attribute... 
Make the test for the attribute part of how you select the first node, and
just select the first...
	
	
count(preceding-sibling::node()[@ss:Index][1]/preceding-sibling::node())

2) yes. Don't use copy-of, just use select.
	
	<xsl:with-param name="pp" select="preceding-sibling::node()"/>

have fun
Tom SW
