Re: Selecting specific portions of a tree.

Hi Paul,
  I have written the following XSL, to illustrate the
concept.. I guess, you wish to access the 11th node ;)

XSL
---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
        
<xsl:template match="root">
  <xsl:for-each select="child">
    <xsl:if test="position() = 11">
        <xsl:call-template name="print11thNode">
          <xsl:with-param name="x" select="."/>
        </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
        
<xsl:template name="print11thNode">
  <xsl:param name="x"/>
  <xsl:value-of select="$x"/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

The XML, I have assumed is --
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <child>1</child>
  <child>2</child>
  <child>3</child>
  <child>4</child>
  <child>5</child>
  <child>6</child>
  <child>7</child>
  <child>8</child>
  <child>9</child>
  <child>10</child>
  <child>11</child>
  <child>12</child>
  <child>13</child>
  <child>14</child>
  <child>15</child>
</root>

I have added the numbers 1,2,3 etc, within child tags,
for illustration purpose ;)

I hope, my answer is useful ;)

Regards,
Mukul
