Hello,
I've been searching for a solution to what I thought was a simple
problem. Given the input XML:
----------------------------------
<forest>
<monkey name="Joe" />
<tree><monkey name="Sam" /></tree>
<tree><monkey name="George" /></tree>
<tree><monkey name="Frank" /></tree>
<tree><treehouse><monkey name="Phil" /></treehouse></tree>
<tree><monkey name="Hans" /></tree>
</forest>
----------------------------------
I want to get the name of the fifth monkey (Phil). I thought this would do it:
----------------------------------
<xsl:template match="forest">
<xsl:text>The fifth monkey's name is: </xsl:text><xsl:value-of
select="//monkey[5]/@name"/>
</xsl:template>
----------------------------------
But this doesn't seem to work. It does work fine if all the monkeys
are children of the root element, but I can't count on that always
being the case. Can anyone help me with my monkey trouble?
Thank you in advance,
Mike Leonard
