creating a variable in xsl 1

[yahoo182]

Hi there,
I am trying to loop through my xml file and create a variable "count"
The code I have is

<xsl:for-each select="hotel/images/image">
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="slideshow('slideshow.php?id=4110&count=count')" target="_blank">
<img src="{ThumbnailURL}" border="0"/>
</a>
</xsl:for-each>

and basically what I need to do is to assign count to an incrementing number from 0 to whaever the loop ends at.

Any help is much appriciated.

Thanks,

Whilst you could do this, it would probably be easier to use the position of each image in the node-set:

<xsl:for-each select="hotel/images/image">
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="slideshow('slideshow.php?id=4110&count={position()}')" target="_blank">
<img src="{ThumbnailURL}" border="0"/>
</a>
</xsl:for-each>
