 Trying to count the preceding-siblings?-cousins? of input[@type='radio'] that belong to the current group or form: Input example: <html> <form id="1"> <input type="radio" /> </form> <form id="2"> <input type="text" /> <radiogroup> <input type="radio" /> <p> <input type="radio" /> <input type="radio" /> </p> <input type="radio" /> <input type="radio" /> </radiogroup> </form> </html> processing form[@id='2'], the result of my xpath should enable the following indexing of radio buttons: Output example: <form id="2"> <input type="text" /> <input type="radio" id="radio_1"/> <p> <input type="radio" id="radio_2" /> <input type="radio" id="radio_3" /> </p> <input type="radio" id="radio_4" /> <input type="radio" id="radio_5" /> </radiogroup> </form> the closest i've come is with match="input[@type='radio']" <xsl:variable name="idx" select="count(preceding-sibling::input[@type='radio'])+1"/> which only works per level: 1 <p> 1 2 </p> 2 3 or <xsl:variable name="idx" select="count(preceding::input[@type='radio'])+1"/> which ignores the radioGroup boundary. Basically each radio needs to count the preceding relatives of his own radiogroup family. or am i thinking this through wrong...?
