problem with proper numbering

Hi everybody,
I have a XML document I want to translate into a WML document, which should
include a table of contents linking to the other pages.
So I would like to transform "slidesets" and "slides" into "cards". The
problem I have is concerned with the numbering of the "cards".


a clipping of my code:

<!--TABLE OF CONTENTS WITH LINKS TO OTHER CARDS-->

<xsl:for-each select="slideset">
 <card>
  <xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:number value="position()" format="a"/>
  </xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:attribute name="title"><xsl:value-of select="title"/></xsl:attribute>
  <p><b><xsl:text>slideset </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="title"
/></b></p>

   <xsl:for-each select="./slide">
     <p><a>
     <xsl:attribute name="href">
      <xsl:text>#</xsl:text><xsl:number value="position()" format="a"/>
     </xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:value-of select="./title"/>
     </a></p>
  </xsl:for-each>
 </card>
</xsl:for-each>


<!--OTHER CARDS-->
<xsl:for-each select="slideset/slide">
  <card>
    <xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:number value="position()"
format="a"/></xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </card>
</xsl:for-each>


As a result I get:


<!--TABLE OF CONTENTS OF FIRST SLIDESET-->
<card id="a" title="Basic Tests"><p><b>slideset Basic Tests</b></p>
 <p><a href="#a">Para test</a></p>
 <p><a href="#b">Preformatted test</a></p>
</card>

<!--TABLE OF CONTENTS OF SECOND SLIDESET-->
<card id="b" title="Item Drill Down Test"><p><b>slideset Item Drill Down
Test</b></p>
  <p><a href="#a">Item and flat list</a></p>
  <p><a href="#b">Item and bullet list</a></p>
</card>

<!--OTHER CARDS OF FIRST  SLIDESET-->
<card id="a"><p><b>Para test</b></p></card>
<card id="b"><p><b>Preformatted test</b></p></card>

<!--OTHER CARDS OF SECOND  SLIDESET-->
<card id="c"><p><b>Item and flat list</b></p></card>
<card id="d"><p><b>Item and bullet list</b></p></card>


So the position() function does not work in here as it starts numbering the
card-id with "a" again and again, but what I want is strictly ascending
numbering of the id.
I would like the result to look like:

<!--TABLE OF CONTENTS OF FIRST SLIDESET-->
<card id="a" title="Basic Tests"><p><b>slideset Basic Tests</b></p>
 <p><a href="#c">Para test</a></p>
 <p><a href="#d">Preformatted test</a></p>
</card>

<!--TABLE OF CONTENTS OF SECOND SLIDESET-->
<card id="b" title="Item Drill Down Test"><p><b>slideset Item Drill Down
Test</b></p>
  <p><a href="#e">Item and flat list</a></p>
  <p><a href="#f">Item and bullet list</a></p>
</card>

<!--OTHER CARDS OF FIRST  SLIDESET-->
<card id="c"><p><b>Para test</b></p></card>
<card id="d"><p><b>Preformatted test</b></p></card>

<!--OTHER CARDS OF SECOND  SLIDESET-->
<card id="e"><p><b>Item and flat list</b></p></card>
<card id="f"><p><b>Item and bullet list</b></p></card>

Can anybody help me with my problem?
Thanks in advance,
Andreas Putscher
