Hello All,
Sorry for the confusion. I want to find number of elments not tags.
Thanks for input. I can find the number of element using count() function.
But i didn't get understand, does this mean apply-templates call
return number of elements matched the select criteria?
Thanks and Regards,
Chandu

position() gives the position of a node in the current node list, which in
this case is the set of nodes selected by the apply-templates call, which is
a list of length one, because you only selected the last one.
xsl:number would probably suit your purpose better.
You're not trying to count the number of tags, of course, but the number of
elements. Most elements have two tags, a start tag and an end tag.

Subject: [xsl] position
Hello,
I am trying to find number of tags in my xml using XSLT.
The XSLT is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="dataroot/ReferenceTaskDb[last()]"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ReferenceTaskDb">
<result> <xsl:value-of select="position()"/></result>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
It is returning 1. What is the wrong here ?
Thanks and Regards,
Chandu
