RE: RE: Can I generate position() values for nodes I reference by key()?

2005-03-23 15:24:16
And was hoping I could do something like this:

 
    <xsl:key name="positionKey" 
match="/pd:chipDesign/pd:oligoList/pd:probe"
use="position()"/>


position() is not a property of a node, it is a property of the context in
which the node is being processed. When the use expression of xsl:key is
being processed, position() is always 1.

I haven't looked at the detail of your problem, but you probably want
something like

   use="count(preceding-sibling::*)+1"
