Conditional Assigining

<xsl:variable name="ID">-1</xsl:variable>
<xsl:for-each select="Section[parentID='0']">
	<xsl:if test="$ID=-1">
		<xsl:variable name="ID" select="sectionID" />
	</xsl:if>
id <xsl:value-of select="$ID"/>

Output:
-----------
id = -1.  In the first instance.

All i want is similar to this one.
int x = 0;
while ( true) {
 if ( x == 0 ){
   x = 1;
 }
 x = 2;
}

Cheers

I think you'd better show us the whole stylesheet, because otherwise we'll
carry on imagining things you might have got wrong in the parts you haven't
shown us.
