Adam,
The <xsl:number/> construct is what you want here, but you need to
remember that <xsl:number/> in itself is essentially:
<xsl:value-of select="count(preceding-sibling::*)"/>
With that in mind, remove @value (that's only really used if you're
formatting a static number with @format), and use:
<xsl:number count="*"/>
That'll give you count(preceding-sibling::*). If you actually need to
traverse the preceding:: axis (not just the siblings of the context
node), use level="any". I think you'll find the native behavior of
<xsl:number/> to be exactly what you need here. Cheers!

Subject: [xsl] count(preceding-sibling ) not working
Folks
I suspect this is a novice question, so please accept my apologies in
advance..
I have a for-each loop like this:
<xsl:for-each
select="expensys:Lines/expensys:Line/expensys:Accruals/expensys:Accrual"
<txn:PSIBS>
<xsl:number value="count(preceding-sibling::*)"/>
</txn:PSIBS>
<!-- More code here -->
</xsl:for-each>
The for-each selects a number of nodes, typically 5 - 7, but the value
oout in <PSIBS> is usually 0.
I know could use "position()", but after I solve this problem I need to
apply a filter to the PSIBS
value.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks - Adam
