[xsl] Re: keys and unique IDs

[Robert Koberg <rob at koberg dot com>]

Ahhh... nevermind... I think I can do what I need with:

<xsl:template match="/">
    <style type="text/css">
        <xsl:apply-templates mode="x"/>
    </style>
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="y"/>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*" mode="x">
   <xsl:param name="x.oldpos"/>
   <xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/>
    <xsl:variable name="x.pos" select="concat($x.oldpos,$pos)"/>

     #<xsl:value-of select="concat(name(),$x.pos)"/> {yadayada}
     <xsl:apply-templates mode="x">
         <xsl:with-param name="x.oldpos" select="$x.pos"/>
     </xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*" mode="y">
   <xsl:param name="y.oldpos"/>
    <xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/>
    <xsl:variable name="y.pos" select="concat($y.oldpos,$pos)"/>
    <div id="{concat(name(),$y.pos)}">
         whatever
         <xsl:apply-templates mode="y">
            <xsl:with-param name="y.oldpos" select="$y.pos"/>
         </xsl:apply-templates>
    </div>
</xsl:template>
