Sequence of For-each elements?

brendonsmith · January 13th, 2004, 12:17 AM

Hi all,

can you help with this?
I need to dynamically name input fields based on the sequence of the node in the for-each result set, so I can reference and access the fields individually. Is there a way to do this?

i.e. need to replace X below with the sequence of each node returned:

<xsl:for-each select="Group/xml/rs:data/z:row[@SettingType != 'CB']">
  <tr>
  <td>Item X:</td>
  <td><input type="text" name="listitemX" size="30" value="{@SettingName}" /></td>
  <td>remove</td>
  </tr>
</xsl:for-each>

Cheers,
Brendon.

Use position function, for a more advanced and customisable way look at the xsl:number element:

Code:

<xsl:for-each select="Group/xml/rs:data/z:row[@SettingType != 'CB']">
  <tr>
  <td>Item X:</td>
  <td><input type="text" name="listitem{position()}" size="30"   value="{@SettingName}" /></td>
  <td>remove</td>
  </tr>            
</xsl:for-each>

Thanks - position() does just what I needed.
