G'day all,
I've got some XML that contains a list of items and groups, and each group could contain either more items or more groups like so : <catalog> <item /> <group> < group > < item /> < item /> < group > < group > < item /> etc So groups can contain either items or more groups or nothing. Items only exist at the root (catalog) of this part of the tree or inside groups. I'm outputting a single list of all of the items and group currently using this : <xsl:for-each select="item|descendant::group|descendant::group/item"> The reason for that is that a item node might also contain child nodes that are also called <item> nodes that I don't want. I only want a item node that has it's immediate parent a group node. (There may be an easier way to do that...) How do I count the "indent" level - so how many parent "groups" each item or group has, right back up to the catalog node? Eg in the example above, it would be 0 for the first item and group, 1 for the next 4 etc. I can change the for-each that I'm using, although it has to remain in the same order, so I can't process them out of order. Is the easiest way to count back up the tree for each one, or is there a way to build that into the for-each? If I use count, how do I count the path back up to the catalog node? Thanks in advance, Nick
