Dear list,
I have an XPath question to which I cannot find the answer.
Let $node_set be a set of element nodes, stored in a variable. In this set
there is an element with @id="foo". I would like to know the position of
this element within the node set. I found the following solution:
<xsl:for-each select="$node_set">
<xsl:if test="@id='foo'">
<xsl:value-of select="position()">
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
I cannot but think that there is a quicker, XPath-only solution to this, yet
I cannot find it. Thank you for your help!
