Re: problem with position() function

Andre --

Your problem is in this select:

<xsl:value-of select="//*[(name() = $elname) and
(parent::node()[position() = $n])]"/>

Each element has one parent.  Therefore, the size of the node-set
created by parent::node() will always be one since you can't have
multiple parents for an element.  Therefore, 

  parent::node()[position() = $n]

will only be true when n is 1 which is why you're only getting answers
for the first row.

Try:

<xsl:value-of select="(//*[name() = $elname])[position() = $n]"/>
