RE: Problem for : increment a variable in a for-each?

 Thanks lots for help.

Now I try to use the template except using the
<xsl:for-each-->

But I still can't figure out how I can format the
child node since I can't get how many child node.
example for the ID=21 ,It has three child (which ID
are 22,23,24). sorry that I am so poor skill for xsl
language.

What I need do:
Format the parent node title (Which parentID is 1 and
ID is 21) then
find all child ID which parent_ID is 21 then format
the child ID based on there position.If the first
child
then I need do format 1,if the last child then I do
format 2,If not first and last one then I format3

My code:
 <xsl:template match="Lists"> 
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="List" >
    <xsl:choose>
       <xsl:when test="Parent_ID = 1">
         <!--parent Node-->
	<xsl:variable name="ID" select="Subject_ID"/>
	<xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test="position()=1">
	 <b><xsl:value-of select="Title"/></b>
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:when test="position() = last()">
	<b> and <xsl:value-of select="Title"/></b>
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:when test="position() &gt;1 and position()
&lt;last() ">
	<b>; <xsl:value-of select="Title"/></b>
      </xsl:when>
	</xsl:choose>	
	<!--need find child node and format child node
title-->
<!--??? How I can get know how many child node for
this current node-->
       <xsl:for-each select="../List">
          <xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when test="Parent_ID=$ID">
           <b><xsl:value-of select="Title"/></b>      
                                       </xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>												
Thanks
Helena	
													</xsl:for-each>
											</xsl:when>
									<xsl:otherwise>
								   <!--parentID not1 should be child-->
									</xsl:otherwise> 
								</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
