Re: [xsl] problems with position()

["Joerg Heinicke" <joerg dot heinicke at gmx dot de>]

Can you give the most necessary XML and XSL-code. On which elements are you
matching?

The only thing I can advise you is to shorten your code with attribute value
templates:

<MAP NAME="flechas">
    <AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="0,7,9,13"
HREF="javascript:alert('{position() - 1}')"/>
    <AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="0,0,9,5" HREF=""/>
</MAP>

And even if you don't want to use AVT in {} you don't need to use
xsl:element and xsl:attribute for the element-name and the other attributes.
