Greetings.
I've been using Jeni's method from the XSLT FAQ to assign unique id's to
nodes. In order to speed things up, can anyone think of a way that I could
store the running totals for the different nodes, rather than having to
call the count() function repeatedly? A generalized method would obviously
be the best, so that it could be applied to any arbitrary set of nodes,
but I don't know if this is even possible.
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:variable name="name" select="name()" />
<xsl:element name="{name()}">
<xsl:attribute name="id">
<xsl:value-of select="concat($name, '-',
count(preceding::*[name()= $name]) +
count(ancestor::*[name()= $name]))" />
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
Thanks very much for any suggestions.
Regards,
Brian
