I am trying to pick a number of random nodes from a collection of nodes and its not quite working. Here is what i have:
1. I am selecting all children and sub children of 2 nodes at level2 ie
[code]
[/code]
this gives me around 60 nodes.
2. I have extended the xslt with some c# to give me a number (4 or 6) of random numbers the seed for the generator is the count of step 1 so i am getting back 4 or 6 random numbers 1 - 60.
3. Im my code i am trying to select the nodes i got in 1 using the following code
[code]
[/code]
the issue is that becuase the selected nodes are nested the position of each element is not linear so sometimes i get no nodes. The other issue is if my itemNo is for example 10 then i get more than one node back becuase 10 is position of 3 nodes in more than one section of the tree of sub nodes. Is there a way of linearising the selected nodes so that when i do $nodes//node[$itemNo] i get back the actual node.
I have sorted this with a little help from Soren Sprogge. I updated the xslt to create a new node set which i then set to a variable then used msxsl-nodeset on that fragement. The creation of the new nodeset gave me linear position values:
Random nodes
Guys,

Hope this makes sense.
