As far as im aware global variables are not supported in xml 1.0...
You could possibly get round this with a recursive template of some kind
which is what i have used when faced with a similar problem. maybe something
along the lines of....
<xsl:template name="list_data">
<xsl:variable name="totalelements"
select="count(ELEMENT_TO_COUNT)"/>
<xsl:variable name="pages" select="ceiling($totalelements
div 12)"/>
<xsl:call-template name="produce-pages">
<xsl:with-param name="count" select="1"/>
<xsl:with-param name="max" select="$pages+1"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="produce-pages">
<xsl:param name="count"/>
<xsl:param name="max"/>
<xsl:param name="maxdata" select="$count * 12"/>
<xsl:param name="minddata" select="($maxrunners - 12) +1"/>
<xsl:param name="datacount" select="0"/>
<xsl:if test="$count != $max">
<xsl:for-each select="DATA">
<xsl:if test="position() <=$maxdata and position()
>=$mindata">
<xsl:call-template name="display_data"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:call-template name="produce-pages">
<xsl:with-param name="count" select="$count
+ 1"/>
<xsl:with-param name="max" select="$max"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Hi
Hopefully I'm just missing something silly here. I need to
declare a variable that will be used globally and possibly modify if a
condition occurs. Yet I cannot discern the syntax to do so , any attempt
seems to re-declare the variable.
The intent here is to increment the value pages if the condition is true.
If I declare a new variable within the If to hold the value it will go out
of scope which doesn't help me.
Ie.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
<xsl:variable name="pages" select="( $totalitems - $leftover ) div
$pagesize "/>
<xsl:if test="leftover > 0 ">
<xsl:variable name="$pages" select="$pages =$pages +1"/>
</xsl:if>
