Parent and XSL

[LeeGath]

Could someone please help I've hit a bit of a stumbling block. I'm traversing through a set of nodes(Y) which has a parent(X). Whilst in the context of Y can I find the current position and last value of X.

I've tried things like parent::*position(). I'm sure it's possible but just need pointing in the right direction.

Thanks

Why don't try <xsl:value-of select &quot;ancestor(.)&quot;>.
It might help...

Try also a google search on xselerator, it's a nice ide for xslt (windows).

Oooops... Err...
wrong syntax and wrong answer...

You can address nodes as elements of an array using xpath statements and you also have the last keyword.

However, I couldn't obtain the right output, if no node names are specified in the path (i.e. trying the generalized:
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;ancestor[last()]&quot;/>.

For a nice XPath syntax explanation, try a search on msdn for XPath Examples as the article title, it might help.

HalToH... (hope at least this one helps) [red]Nosferatu[/red]
