RE: Problem getting position of node

Hi Jarno,
          Thanks for the reply. Looks like I haven't included enough of the
snippet for you to give the right solution. The snippet is as follows:

<xsl:template match="@*">
<xsl:attribute name="{name(.)}">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:number count="*"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>


As you can see, the context node is an attribute node and Iam getting the
error,
 Attribute nodes cannot be numbered.

Could you tell me the way to do this for attribute nodes.

parent::node()/position() is the problem, you can't use a function as a
right side operator in a path expression. Also, position() does not return
the position of a node in it's siblings, but rather the context position.
You want

  <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  <xsl:number count="*"/>

Cheers,

Jarno
