Michael,
I just found out that you are one of the authors of Professional XML! It was
one of my first XML books. I never paid attention to who wrote it until now.:)
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Charlene

Subject: RE: [xsl] xsl:number problem
After I changed to <xsl:number level="any"
count="productId[publisher='NETg' or publisher='Wave']"/> or
<xsl:number level="any" count="//productId[publisher='NETg'
or publisher='Wave']"/>
Clearly the second expression starting with // will always
give the same value as it always counts all the nodes in the
document, since it starts with / it does not depend on the
current node at all.
The first expression will return different values depending
on the current node.
You're confusing me, David. The count attribute is not an expression, it
is a pattern. xsl:number depends implicitly on the current node.
