    Get position of the third-last node, 4.5

    XSLT

    Hi everybody!
    I'm trying to figure out a good way of getting the position of the third-last node. I'm using a for-each to create a navigation menu and I really want change attributes of the last, second-last and third-last node.

    I've made some efforts using preceding-sibling:: but I'm still a bit new to all this and can't manage to completing my code. 

    Thank you for taking a look at my problem and hopefully you can help me out!

    Cheers /Max

    Hi Max,

    Here's one way to get it - depends a little on what you're trying to achieve, but this will work inside the for-each:

    <xsl:if test="position() = last() - 2">
    <!-- do stuff -->
</xsl:if>

    Hi Max,

    You can use the XLST functions count() and position() to achieve this.

    <xsl:for-each select="$yourNodes">
      <xsl:if test="position() = (count($yourNodes)-1)">
        2nd last node
      </xsl:if>
    <xsl:for-each>
