Re: what is the xpath for the position of the parent of a node?

what  is the xpath for the position of the parent of a node?

the parent axis only has (at most) one node so position() is always 1 so
the answer to the question you asked is

1

Probably the answer you wanted is 1+count(../preceding-sibling::*) but
that has nothing to do with the position() function in Xpath.
