http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl and position()

[EliseD]

Hi
i use the "

http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl

namespace for my xslt

the problem is that i want to implement a row color alternated in a table.
The exemples i saw use position() thaht is not available in this namespace

Ma question is : ss there a posible solution to make an alternate row color with this old namespace ??

 

[jaybytez]

<xsl:if test="position() mod 2 = 0">

Position is an XPath function, not an XSLT element. So it does not require the namespace.

well i tested and i get an unknown method error for "position()"

so it seems that it doesn't work with this version

Dont know why position() wouldn't work, do other x-path functions (like count() ) work?
If so, maybe you could use count() on preceding-sibling.
