Hi Charles,
You can do something like:
<xsl:variable name="currentpos" select="position()"/>
Or:
<xsl:variable name="currentpos" select="count(preceding-sibling::CONDITION) +
1"/>
Your expression:
<xsl:variable name="CurrentCond"><xsl:value-of
select="CONDITION[position()]"/></xsl:variable>
Creates a root tree fragment with all CONDITION elements that are a child of
the context, e.g. the CONDITION element that was matched. I guess the
[position()] predicate is not restricting by the way. When looking for some
OTHERELEM at the same position, do something like:
<xsl:variable name="OtherElem" select="OTHERELEM[position() = $currentpos]"/>
Or perhaps prepend a relative path if it is located elsewhere..
Kind regards,
Geert

Subject: [xsl] Capturing position as a number
I need to capture an elements position as an integer to a
variable so I
can use that number in capture the text from another element that
shares the same position number in another part of the tree.
My XML looks something like this:
<Document>
<CONDITION>
<HYPERPROC linkend="M16-66A.-HP1">Webbing straps removed</HYPERPROC>
</CONDITION>
<CONDITION>
<HYPERPROC linkend="M16-66A.-HP2">Remote Terminal Unit
Removed</HYPERPROC></CONDITION>
</Document>
My template:
<xsl:template match="CONDITION">
<xsl:variable name="CurrentCond"><xsl:value-of
select="CONDITION[position()]"/></xsl:variable>
<eqpconds>
<eqpconds-setup-item><condition><xsl:value-of select="."/></condition>
<itemref><link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>
<xsl:attribute name="linkaction">prompt</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="linktype">goto</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";
name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="//nameloc[$CurrentCond]/nmlist"/>
<xsl:text>.xml</xsl:text></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute
name="xreftype">wp</xsl:attribute><prompt><xsl:value-of select="."/>
</prompt></link>
</itemref>
</eqpconds-setup-item></eqpconds>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="HYPERPROC"/>
Everything I've tried always returns the value of "1". I don't
understand this, I have two CONDITION elements, shouldn't the
second one
have a position value of "2". Any help would be appreciated.
