Re: incrementing a counter in XSL

<xsl:for-each select="Contract/TermRdr">
  <xsl:if test="StatusCd='A' or StatusCd='F'">
    <SequenceNum fieldType="Short" elementType="field">
      <xsl:number count="TermRdr[StatusCd='A' or StatusCd='F']"/>
    </SequenceNum>
            ....
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

Cheers,

Subject:    incrementing a counter in XSL

I am selecting some nodes from an XML doc with an if statment in a for-each
loop.  Out of the set of nodes I am looping through, I am only selecting
some in the if statment.  Each of these nodes that is selected by the if
statement needs a sequence number.  Originally I was using :
     <xsl:for-each select="Contract/TermRdr">
            <xsl:if test="StatusCd='A' or StatusCd='F'">
                  <SequenceNum fieldType="Short" elementType
="field"><xsl:number value ="position()"/></SequenceNum>
            ....
      </xsl:if>
   </xsl:for-each>

but I realized I was getting the position from the source xml.  So if the
if statement selected 2 of the 5 nodes, they could end up with sequence
numbers 2 and 4 as opposed to the 1 and 2 I am looking for.
