I don't know what you mean by "dereferencing" - the result of count() is
not a reference, it is a number.
Your code looks fine. Though applying number() to the result of count()
is redundant.
To quote many previous replies on this list: your error is in the part
of the code that you haven't shown us.

Subject: [xsl] dereferencing count() within comparison test
Dear all,
I have a problem dereferencing the value of the count()
function. Testing
shows that count() evaluates to 5, and that $paramCount
evaluates to 1 in
the following code snippet. The loop is not enetered into, however.
<xsl:when test="$paramCount <
number(count(exsl:node-set($A)/derivedType)+1) ">
I can copy and paste the syntax from "(count(exsl" into a
select and find
out that it is indeed 5, but putting it together with the
"<" comparison
seems to make it non-numeric. Could some one please tell me why?
Thanks a lot,
Mr Andrew Maclean
