 > I am attempting to set a counter using the XSL:param method. You can't set counters in XSLT. It's not a procedural programming language. > The following is my XSL code :- > <?xml version='1.0'?> > <!--<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">-->; > <xsl:stylesheet > xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0"> > <xsl:template match="/banners"> > <xsl:param name="count">0</xsl:param> > <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" > select="count(bannerlist/banner)" /> Why are you doing disable-output-escaping? This is only to be used when you deliberately want to output ill-formed XML. Here you are outputting a number, which will never need to be escaped anyway. > <HTML> > <BODY> > <TABLE> > <xsl:for-each select="bannerlist/banner"> > <xsl:param name="count" expr="count+1"></xsl:param> (a) xsl:param can be used only immediately within xsl:stylesheet or xsl:for-each. (b) The xsl:param element does not have an expr attribute (c) If you want to refer to the count variable in an expression, you have to write it as $count (d) You can't refer to a variable within the element that declares that variable (e) What you actually want is the position() function > <TR> > <TD> > <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="IMAGE" /> (f) Oh dear, I despair.
