RE: FW: Trying to translate code with specific values

Thanks.  That makes sense.  I tried it but still get the same error.  I
changed it to this:

<xsl:value-of
select="count(preceding::*[name()=$counterElement][ends-with(@*[name()=$count
erAttName],$counterAttValue)][ancestor::*[name()=$containerElement][@*[name()
=$containerAttName]=$containerAttValue]])+1"/>

Here is the error:
XPTY0020: The context item for axis step attribute::attribute() is not a node

Thanks.

You start with

preceding::table-wrapper[ends-with(@km,'Ta.A')]

and you want the element name to be variable. So you replace table-wrapper
with *[name()=$x]. That gives you

preceding::*[name()=$x][ends-with(@km,'Ta.A')]

not

preceding::*[name()=$x[ends-with(@km,'Ta.A')]]

because the ends-with predicate qualifies the element *, not the variable
$x.

I am trying to translate code using specific values into code that uses
variables to represent those values.

Here is an XML example:
<chunk km=3D"Ch">
<table-wrapper km=3D"Ch.1.Ta.A">
.....
</table-wrapper>
<table-wrapper km=3D"Ch.1.Ta.A">
.....
</table-wrapper>
<table-wrapper km=3D"Ch.1.Ta.A">
.....
</table-wrapper>
</chunk>

The following code counts all the table-wrapper elements with a km
attribute that ends in Ta.A that are inside of this chunk element where
the km attribute value is Ch.

<xsl:value-of select=3D"count(preceding::table-wrapper[ends-with(@km,
'Ta.A')][ancestor::chunk[@km=3D'Ch']])+1"/>             =20
This example works perfectly.

But when I try to represent the working code above with variables, I get
an error:
<xsl:value-of
select=3D"count(preceding::*[name()=3D$counterElement[ends-with(@*[name()=
=3D$c
ounterAttName],$counterAttValue)]][ancestor::*[name()=3D$containerElement=
[
@*[name()=3D$containerAttName]=3D$containerAttValue]]])+1"/>

  Here is the error:

XPTY0020: The context item for axis step attribute::attribute() is not a
node

Does anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.
Emily
