Hi Deep,

You need a location path that starts from the $contextnode:
$contextnode
And then steps to its preceding sibling elements:
$contextnode/preceding-sibling::*
I think you're testing the name attribute of the preceding siblings
when you're counting them, so you need:
<xsl:variable name="cnt"
select="count($contextnode/preceding-sibling::*[@name='data'])"/>
Cheers,
Jeni
