This transformation shows how to avoid evaluating the position in an
xsl:variable:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="/*/*/entry">
<xsl:value-of select=
"/*/colspec[position()
=
count(current()/preceding-sibling::entry)+1]/@colname"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When performed on the original xml source document:
<table>
<colspec colname="c1"/>
<colspec colname="c2"/>
<colspec colname="c3"/>
<row>
<entry colname="c1">r1_1</entry>
<entry colname="c2">r1_2</entry>
<entry colname="c3">r1_2</entry>
</row>
</table>
the correct result is produced:
c1
c2
c3

Hallo everyone,
depending on the postion() of a certain node I would like to select
another node with the same position.
It works if I invent a variable.
But I wonder if there is a way to do it without the use of a variable?
XML:
<table>
<colspec colname="c1"/>
<colspec colname="c2"/>
<colspec colname="c3"/>
<row>
<entry colname="c1">r1_1</entry>
<entry colname="c2">r1_2</entry>
<entry colname="c3">r1_2</entry>
</row>
</table>
XSL:
<xsl:template match="entry">
<xsl:variable name="mypos">
<xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="../../colspec[position() = $mypos]/@colname"/>
</xsl:template>
Best regards and thanks for your comments,
Norbert Heidbrink
