 Given this type of tree structure: <!ELEMENT grandp (parent)*> <!ELEMENT parent (child)*> <!ELEMENT child EMPTY> I am trying to reference each child by a specific position. I have included a 'pos' attribute just for clarity. It is not part of my dataset. In other words, suppose I have the following: <grandp pos='na'> <parent pos='1'> <child pos='1'> <child pos='2'> <child pos='3'> <child pos='4'> </parent> <parent pos='2'> <child pos='1'> <child pos='2'> <child pos='3'> <child pos='4'> </parent> <parent pos='3'> <child pos='1'> <child pos='2'> <child pos='3'> <child pos='4'> </parent> <parent pos='4'> <child pos='1'> <child pos='2'> <child pos='3'> <child pos='4'> </parent> </grandp> I create a nodeset that only contains the 'child' nodes which have a position 1 (ie. pos='1'). Another way to describe this visually would be to create a tabular format: parent(1) child(1) child(2) child(3) child(4) parent(2) child(1) child(2) child(3) child(4) parent(3) child(1) child(2) child(3) child(4) parent(4) child(1) child(2) child(3) child(4) I want to create a nodeset for a variable which contains each column of data. My limited knowledge made me think this might work...but as testing will show, it does not: <x:template match="/"> <x:for-each select="grandp/parent"> ....code.... <x:variable name="pos" select="$someCorrectPosition" /> ....code.... <x:variable name="nodeSet"> <x:value-of select="parent::*/child::*/child::*[position()=$pos" /> </x:variable> ...operate on the nodeSet variable... </x:for-each> </x:template> Thanks in advance!
