Hi all,
I have the following problem:
During a transformation, I want different Colours on some elemets according
to their position in the hierachy. Instead of a choose-when, I have tried
following:
<!-- Top of XSL document -->
<xsl:variable name="Colours"
select="document('Colours.xml')/colours/colour"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy-of select="$Colours"/> <!-- Gives back the whole -->
<xsl:value-of select="$Colours[2]"/> <!-- Gives back the value of the
second colour element -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="node"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="node">
<xsl:value-of select="$Colours[count(ancestor-or-self::node)]"/> <!--
Gives nothing at all -->
<xsl:apply-template select="node"/>
</xsl:template>
In the template node, I have tried various things in the predicate, such as
[position()=count(ansestor-or-self::node)] and the like, but nothing seems
to work, except when I hardcode the value, which I obviously do not want.
What am I doing wrong here? I have absolutely no idea why this is not
working.
The Colours.xml looks like the following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<colours>
<colour>red</colour>
<colour>green</colour>
<colour>bluez</colour>
</colours>
