Hi, I need to access an xml value by it's position. can this be done (or is there a better way to do it) I have the xml below for generating a table. I process <columns> to build the table header, then <rows> to build the body. When I am in a cell I need to find the type of the data for formatting I don't know how to access the correct type node I was thinking of something like <xsl:value-of select="../../../columns/column(position())/type"/> but after reading the faq that sort of 'on-the-fly' XPath generation isn't allowed Is there a nice way doing this? Any help appreciated! Vin <table> <columns> <column> <type>datetime</type> <value>time</value> </column> <column> <type>float</type> <value>Item1</value> </column> <column> <type>int</type> <value>Item2</value> </column> <column> <type/> <value>Item3</value> </column> </columns> <rows> <row> <cell> <value>2004-05-05T12:53:34.873</value> </cell> <cell> <value>1567.98765</value> </cell> <cell> <value>136</value> </cell> <cell> <value>hello</value> </cell> </row> </rows> </table>
