confusing xPath expression in repeat

Hello all,

I have a problem with a "select1"-dropdown that should be only visible depending on the following (it is in a repeat and right now I´m using xforms:group ref="xpathExpression"...):

This dropDown shows AND / OR that I need to finish my searchEngin...

-it should not be visible if the value is "lemma" (THIS IS WORKING!)

- it should not be visible if it´s the first and only one (of course I don´t need an operator for one row...) (THIS IS WORKING, TOO)

- it should become visible to the first one when a row is added (WORKING =) )

- it should not be visible to the last one (PROBLEM, NOT WORKING!!!!)

right now I have:

<xforms:group ref=".[not(@name=('lemma')) and not(position()=last())]">

But when I add a new row everything is fine but the last one...It´s visible, too... Any help?

THX

Try the workaround with count(preceding-sibling::*) instead of
position() (there are some threads regarding that topic in the archives
- it's almost a FAQ)

Florian,

this was so easy..thx to our help:

instead of

<xforms:group ref=".[not(@name=('lemma')) and not(position()=last())]">

I tried

<xforms:group ref=".[not(@name=('lemma')) and not(count(preceding-sibling::*) =last()-1)]">

and it worked just like I wanted...
