Re: xsl query

Hi,

I am trying to figure out a way to get the cumulative sum of an element,i
tried it with <xsl:value-of
select="sum(./preceding-sibling::quantity)"/> but this instead gives out the
whole sum instead of sum at that particular node.

Any thoughts on how this can be done?

Thanks,
Shadab
