With the following
<root>
<item>A</item>
<item>B</item>
<item>C</item>
</root>
using XPath what is the simplest way to determine the position/index of B relative to the root?
So "/root/item[.='B']" gets me to it and "/root/item[position()=1]" does also, but how do i get the position back for any element?
ta much,
steven.
