Re: Select nodes with equal position

Thank you David. This also works -
<xsl:value-of 
select="../../colspec[count(current()/preceding-sibling::entry)+1]/@colname"/>
(got idea from your answer)

Seems more programmer friendly to me(not a XPath expert like you)   

Best regards,

 Why this should not work -
  <xsl:template match="entry">
   <xsl:value-of select="../../colspec[position()]/@colname"/>
  </xsl:template>

colspec[2] means colspec[position()=2] and so selects the second colspec

colspec[position()] means colspec[position()=position()]  which is the
same as colspec as the predicate is always true.
