XSLT Access outer loop from inner

[Newbie]

I need to iterate through all the cells in an HTML-like table, e.g.

<for-each select="tr">
<for-each select="td">
Get coordinates of cell here
</for-each>
</for-each>

How can I access my position in the outer loop from within the inner loop?

Forgot to mention; I can do this with

<for-each select="tr">
<xsl:variable name="outer" select="positio n" />
<for-each select="td">
Get coordinates of cell here
</for-each>
</for-each>

Is there a direct route, without declaring a variable?

select="positio n()"

<for-each select="td">
Get coordinates of cell here
</for-each>
</for-each>

I think the variable is the way to go with.

in my opinion you should forget about the <xsl:for-eachelement because
it's most terrible element. instead of it use <xsl:apply-templatewith
<xsl:with-paramif needed

td
