Wouldn't it be easier to compute the row number in the stylesheet instead of XSP?
I think <xsl:value-of select="position()"/> will give you the 1 based index of the current element e.g. <a> <b/> <!-- position() is 1 --> <row/> <!-- position() is 2 --> <row/> <!-- position() is 3 --> </a> which might be what you need. Otherwise you could define a variable and increment it to count the rows. Great XSLT examples are available at: http://wwbota.free.fr/XSLT_models/README.htm and sites it refers to (see http://IncrementalDevelopment.com/xsltrick/ for numeric computations). -----Original Message----- From: Andrew C. Oliver [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 20 December 2001 2:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: REQ: XSP in a stylesheet help Hi all, (please CC me your response, I get the digest) I'm working on a stylesheet that is intent on organizing the simple-sql example page ($COCOON/docs/samples/sql/sql-page.xml) into a gnumeric style xml spreadsheet. I'm very close, but I need to an incremental row number. I figured I'd just use XSP inside of my stylesheet, but all I've accomplished so far is a literal printout of what is in between the <xsp:expr> tags. I thought perhaps I needed some other directives inside the cocoon configuration but I've not Attached is my stylesheet so far. Can someone point me in the right direction. I've been reading like mad (yes I read xml.apache.org), and I'm just short of the understanding I need to pull this off. An example of a stylesheet that uses an incremental value via xsp would be ideal, or if someone could show me how to get this to work would be even better. One thing I know I've got to figure out is how to get the expression value into the row attribute, but first even getting the expr tag interpreted correctly would be a good start. Once I get a few of these finished we'll probably have enough test cases for our XML->XLS serialization project (sourceforge.net/projects/poi). (it shares gnumeric's xml format) We hope to release a beta on Monday.
