I seem only able to return the current position(). The position() is not an intrinsic property of a node -- it only makes sense to ask for the position() of a node _in the context of some node list_ [*]. Most likely you want the position of the parent node with respect to its siblings, in document order; you can compute this with: 1 + count(parent::*/preceding-sibling::*) --Joe English jenglish@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [*] I'm using the term "node list" to mean "a node set with an associated order", e.g., proximity position order, document order, an <xsl:sort...>-defined order, etc. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
