Hi Zarana,

The XSLT spec. answers your question:
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116#variables

But note that you can't modify a variable's value once assigned,
so you can't use variables for counters. Use recursion instead.

I've never heard of xsl:counter...


Regards,
Markus

answered on the group. i don't seem to find appropriate answer. plz help
