Subject: [xsl] Counting using variable inside the loop
Hello,
I want to count number of row element in XML.
My XML content look like this
<layout>
<table>
<rowseparator/>
<row>
<cell>
</row>
<rowseparator/>
<rowseparator/>
<row>
<cell>
</row>
</table>
</layout>
In my XSL file I am traversing this XSL file using
for-each select="child::*"
I want to find the row position. If I use
<xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
it returns 2 and 5
But I want to make a count row, when I reach first row
I should this is first row. when next row encounter I
should say this is second row.
I tried with <xsl:variable>
<xsl:template name="table_element_traversal">
<xsl:variable name="rowcount">0</xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="row">
<xsl:variable name="rowcount
select="$rowcount+1"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$rowcount"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
I am getting parser error conflicting variable
bindings 'rowcount'
How to solve this in XSL?
Any idea,
Thank you
Regards,
Arul
