copied!<p>I must be missing some fundamental concept of processing an XML document. Here is my source XML:</p> <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <Root> <Element>visitorNameAlt</Element> <Element>visitorScore</Element> <Element>visitorTimeouts</Element> <Element>Blank</Element> <Element>homeNameAlt</Element> <Element>homeScore</Element> <Element>homeTimeouts</Element> <Element>Blank</Element> <Element>period</Element> <Element>optionalText</Element> <Element>flag</Element> <Element>Blank</Element> <Element>scoreLogo</Element> <Element>sponsorLogo</Element> </Root> </code></pre> <p>And my XSL stylesheet:</p> <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:for-each select="/Root"> <xsl:value-of select="position()"/> <xsl:value-of select="Element"/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> </code></pre> <p>All I want is to pluck the "Element" names from the source XML doc with their relative position in front.</p> <p>My output is just "1" followed by the first element and nothing more.</p> <p>I am new to XSLT, but have processed other documents successfully with for-each.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <p>Bill</p>
