Hi,
Probably I was too hasty in calling this a bug and there was a
tussle going on inside me at the time I mailed this whether this really was
a bug.
But alls well that ends well.
Cheers,

Please
respond to

Looks like this is a bug with the processor(s). This bug is
listed in the microsoft site in this location.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324033.
I got the error using oracle xml parser v2 and xalan as well.
I would have thought it fairly obvious that if three processors give the
same result, then it's likely they are working correctly. As indeed they
are
(see my other response).
In any case, the Microsoft bug description clearly states that it applies
when position() is used as an argument to a function call, and there is no
function call here.
But despite the faulty reasoning, the solution below is OK.

The following should do the trick.
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="/dfile/df_data_row/df_data">
<xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/>
<xsl:value-of
select="/dfile/df_column_names/df_column[$pos]/@type"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Trouble with position!

Hi all,
With this xml structure in mind:
<dfile>
<df_column_names>
<df_column name="employee_name" type="hyperlink">Name:</df_column>
<df_column name="department" type="text">Department:</df_column>
<df_column name="position" type="text">Position:</df_column>
</df_column_names>
<df_data_row>
<data_key>1695</data_key>
<df_data>Charles Hilditch</df_data>
<df_data>Processing</df_data>
<df_data>Mill Supervisor</df_data>
</df_data_row>
</dfile>
I am trying to select the type attribute for a particular
df_data element.
<xsl:for-each select="./df_data">
<xsl:value-of select="/dfile/df_column_names/df_column[position
()]/@type"/>
</xsl:for-each>
My algorithm is simply select the type attribute from df_column whose
position Is equal to current df_data element being processed.
I keep getting the type attribute for the first db_column name only.
Thanx to those who respond.
Cheers,
Adam
