<xsl:for-each select="//TABLE">
<xs:value-of select="position()"/>
</xsl:for-each>
For this I get back (1,2,3,4,5) as all the <TABLE> elements
belong to the node-list created by "//TABLE" and position()
returns the location in the node-list not in the parent node.
What I really want back is (1,2,1,2,3).
Any suggestions?
<xsl:for-each select="DB">
<xsl:for-each select="TABLE">
<xs:value-of select="position()"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
Alternatively, use xsl:number, or count(preceding-sibling::*).
