XSL for-each loop but..

[Tjerk Wolterink]

Hello all,

i have a xsl:for-each loop like this:

<xsl:for-each select="xc:agendapunt[xc:datum/xc:year &gt; $time_year or (xc:datum/xc:year=$time_year and xc:datum/xc:month &gt; $time_month) or (xc:datum/xc:year=$time_year and xc:datum/xc:month=$time_month and xc:datum/xc:day &gt; $time_day)]">
<xsl:sort select="xc:datum/xc:year" data-type="number"/>
<xsl:sort select="xc:datum/xc:month" data-type="number"/>
<xsl:sort select="xc:datum/xc:day" data-type="number"/>
<xsl:if test="position(.) &lt; 10">
<li><xsl:value-of select="xc:datum/xc:display"/>: <xsl:value-of select="xc:titel"/>
<page:button-edit-delete module="agenda" id="{./xc:id}" multiple="agendapunt"/>
</li>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>


But this does not work. What i want to is that if there are more than 10 xc:agendapunt items
in the loop the loop should stop. How is this possible?? In someway is must count
the number of loops alreadty taken and only if that number is less than 10 is hould show
the output between the xsl:if

The position function doesn't take an argument.

<li><xsl:value-of select="xc:datum/xc:display"/>: <xsl:value-of
select="xc:titel"/>
<page:button-edit-delete module="agenda" id="{./xc:id}"
multiple="agendapunt"/>

</xsl:for-each>

xc:agendapunt items

Can't you simply make sure the for-each only enumerates over 10 elements
e.g.
<xsl:for-each select="xc:agendapunt[...][positon() &lt; 11]">

ok but position() is that the current position in the loop or the position of the xc:agendapunt element in the source document?

position is defined here:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#function-position>
and says "returns a number equal to the context position from the
expression evaluation context."
Each XPath expression is evaluated within a context, a predicate like I
used e.g. [position() < 11] makes sure that the position refers to each
node in the nodeset selected before the predicate.

position() does not take an argument so position(.) is a syntax error
(your xslt processor should have reported that, and stopped)

remove the . and you should be fine.
