Hi Carlos, It wont work the way you thought it will work.. you can not incriment the variables in XSLT. it's not possible in XSLT, because you can't reassign the value of a variable.. You may use other techniques like recursive templates to solve your problem.. > > In the second XSL file, the counter procedes as planned. But in the first > XSL the counter mantains The following is what is happening 1st XSL. <xsl:variable name="counter" select="0"/> > <xsl:template match='/CLIENTS'> > <xsl:for-each select="./CLIENT"> > <xsl:variable name="counter" select="1 + $counter"/> > <xsl:value-of select="$counter"/> > </xsl:for-each> > </xsl:template> > </xsl:stylesheet> The local counter Variable allways is set to a value which is 1+$counter(global).. In your second XSL .. It is an error to define twice , variables of same name within same template...
