Hi
I've successfully used the expression <xsl:for-each
select="fieldcount[position() < $lastNo]"> to perform a certain
operation a number of times. I'm not sure where I got it and can't find
information on why it works. Now I'm doing a slightly different
stylesheet and I can't get the desired result. Could someone explain
how this operation works.
Sounds like a horrible bodge to me.
What the code actually does is to iterate over the first ($lastNo - 1)
fieldcount children
of the context node.
If there happen to be at least ($lastNo - 1) of them, then is is equivalent
to performing the body
of the for-each loop ($lastNo - 1) times. otherwise it is not.
