Re: Counting using variable inside the loop

Hi Arulraj,

But I want to make a count row, when I reach first row I should this
is first row. when next row encounter I should say this is second
row.

Use <xsl:number> (no need to specify any attributes) to give you these
numbers, or calculate them yourself by counting the number of
preceding sibling rows to the current one, and adding one, with:

  count(preceding-sibling::row) + 1

I tried with <xsl:variable>

You can't change the value of a variable in XSLT (it's a declarative
language rather than a procedural one). If you were stepping through
the <row> elements one by one, you could use a parameter to keep track
of them, but usually one of the above methods works fine.

Cheers,

Jeni
