I gotta tell ya! Man is Brilliant! Worked like a
charm.
I looked into that but I am guessing the documentation
from MSDN site did an alright job of explanation of
<xsl:number/>
Anyhow thank you so much.

Subject: [xsl] Node position and numbering.
Hello all,
I have following XML:
-----------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<service>
<title>Printing the Page</title>
<somenode>node content might go
here.</somenode>
<step>Go to File menu</step>
<step>Select Print</step>
<step>Click Print</step>
<somenode>you are all done.</somenode>
</service>
-----------------------------------------
As you can see the XML has a <service> node with a
whole bunch of other child nodes. Out of all the
child nodes, I am interested in getting the
position
for <step> nodes only. Its pretty simple but
there's
a twist. In the example above if I did
<xsl:apply-templates match="service"/> and then
for
each child node I did a position() then it would
give
me numbers 2,4,and 5 for the <step> nodes.
However
thats not what I want. I want it to give me
numbers
1,2,3 for the <step> nodes. The way I can get
that is
by doing <xsl:apply-templates
match="service/step"/>,
unfortunately due to the complexity of my XSL and
XML
structure I cannot do that. Is there a way to
achieve
this so I can get an output that will look like
this:
---------------------------------------------
1. Go to File menu
2. Select Print
3. Click Print
---------------------------------------------
Note: Its not always guaranteed that the first
<step>
node will start after <title> node or any other
node.
It could be random.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thx,
C
