Re: XML Data Islands, XML Menu Trees and other stuff

Well, i'm using Sarissa on the Javascript side and so far so good. The
problem
now is with XSL itself.

I'm trying to transform
http://gti.clientes.gtinformatica.pt/Site/Java/Menus.xml
with http://gti.clientes.gtinformatica.pt/Site/Java/dmenus.xsl . You can see
the result in http://gti.clientes.gtinformatica.pt/Site/Java/tap.html .

My problem is in this lines
		<xsl:variable name="position">
			<xsl:number level='any' count="menu"/>
		</xsl:variable>
(...)
		<xsl:if test="$position = $pos">
			<xsl:apply-templates select="menu"/>
		</xsl:if>

where pos is the position of the node "clicked".
They're working OK on the first level of menus, but not on the second. If i
click the 3 it expands correctly to 3.1 but 3.1 does not expand to 3.1.1 .

I've tryed lots of combinations, including using the parent:: node and all.
The
closest i can get is using

<xsl:if test="$position &lt;= $pos">

but than expands all the sub-menus, not the only one i want.

I also tryed position() instead of xsl:number, but no success.

Can someone help?

Thanks.
