HI, I'm using saxon 8.6.1, jdk1.4.2 on win XP, and I am trying to set some properties differently according the the node number within a node set. I use position() within an xsl:apply-templates to detected whether this is the first or last node. The result is that position() always returns 1, but it should return the current context position, shouldn't it? Here a snippet of my test code, and further down the output: ... <xsl:template match="ReportContent" mode="order-entries"> <xsl:apply-templates select="//ColumnHeader[@level=1]" mode="level-one"> <xsl:with-param name="pos" select="position()"/> <xsl:with-param name="last" select="last()"/> <xsl:with-param name="border-left"> <xsl:choose><xsl:when test="position()=1"><xsl:value-of select="'0.5pt solid #cccccc'"/></xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="'0.5pt solid #e4e4e4'"/></xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:with-param> <xsl:with-param name="border-right"> <xsl:choose><xsl:when test="position()=last()"><xsl:value-of select="'0.5pt solid #cccccc'"/></xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="'0.5pt solid #e4e4e4'"/></xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:with-param> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="ColumnHeader" mode="level-one"> <xsl:param name="border-left"/> <xsl:param name="border-right"/> <xsl:param name="pos"/> <xsl:param name="last"/> <xsl:variable name="current-header" select="current()"/> <fo:block> <xsl:value-of select="$current-header"/>,<xsl:value-of select="$pos"/>,<xsl:value-of select="$last"/> </fo:block> </xsl:template> ... Here some of the output: .... <fo:flow flow-name="body"> <fo:block>Germany,1,1</fo:block> <fo:block>France,1,1</fo:block> <fo:block>Germany,1,1</fo:block> <fo:block>France,1,1</fo:block> <fo:block>France,1,1</fo:block> <fo:block>France,1,1</fo:block> <fo:block>France,1,1</fo:block> <fo:block>Germany,1,1</fo:block> <fo:block>Germany,1,1</fo:block> <fo:block>Germany,1,1</fo:block> .... Many thanks for any help Cinzia
