RE: Curious result of the position() function

2004-08-01 11:38:53
I believed that the position() function should give me the 
position number  
of the node in the node set. But it appears to not being the 
case. I don't  
understand the result of this function (I use saxon to 
process my xsl  
transformation). It numbers my row nodes 2 by 2.
Can somebody explain me what I missed ?


In case you didn't get the message from previous answers, you have selected
a node sequence that contains element nodes alternating with whitespace-only
text nodes. Therefore, the element nodes are all in even-numbered positions.

Consider using xsl:strip-space to get rid of the whitespace-only text nodes.
