You can't set counters in XSLT. It's not a procedural programming language.

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.
