Re: [Xsltforms-support] XForms, data in a repeat from a parallel instance nodeset

[Jason K. <ja...@bi...>]

I'm still stuck on this.  I've tried:

<xf:output ref="instance('questions')/question[position() =
(count(current()/preceding-sibling::*) + 1)]/@text"></xf:output>

but xsltforms keeps complaining about the preceding-sibling::*

Since I need instance('questions')/question[position() =
(count(current()/preceding-sibling::*) + 1)] for several things, I'd like to
be able to store this in a variable and use it throughout my repeater -
however, I'm not sure how xsltforms supports this.

Thanks,

Jason
