Re: [Xsltforms-support] Saving a node value in a repeat

I am not sure what your question is, but here are some hints.  Within any
repeat you should be able to access all the parent nodes using relative
XPath expressions such as ".." and "../..".

As you click on a cell within a repeat, start with the current node and go
up like this:

<output ref="./../../parent-node/element"/>

or you can use the index() function and a predicate [] to isolate the item
want to view within the repeat.
