> Worked great! But just for my curiosity, is there any way to > find the position() of the parent? An interesting challenge. I really should test this before I post it... <xsl:variable name="parent_position"> <!-- establish the context: parent and its sibling elements --> <xsl:for-each select="../../*"> <!-- when node being looked at is the parent --> <xsl:if test="generate-id() = generate-id(current()/parent::*)"> <!-- use the context position of that node --> <xsl:value-of select="position()"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:variable> If this works, it will make $parent_position a result tree fragment containing a text node that has the number you want. If you want it to be an object of type number, you can later select number($parent_position). XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
