But XSLT variables aren't normal! u can always use a recursive named template, here is an example of an incrementing variable <xsl:call-template name="for.loop"> <xsl:with-param name="i">1</xsl:with-param> <xsl:with-param name="count">10</xsl:with-param> </xsl:call-template> <!-- Rename "old name" elements to "new name" --> <xsl:template name="for.loop"> <xsl:param name="i"/> <xsl:param name="count"/> <xsl:if test="$i <= $count"> <!-- body of the loop goes here --> </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="$i <= $count"> <xsl:call-template name="for.loop"> <xsl:with-param name="i"> <!-- Increment index--> <xsl:value-of select="$i + 1"/> </xsl:with-param> <xsl:with-param name="count"> <xsl:value-of select="$count"/> </xsl:with-param> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> you will most likely have to apply something like this cheers, jim fuller XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
