ok instead of calling recursive templates I have written this code with position but I am having a little problem left now.

    <h3><a><xsl:attribute name="href">javascript:sendContentRequest(<xsl:num ber value="position()" format="1" />-1)</xsl:attribute>
                            <xsl:number value="position()" format="1" /><xsl:text>. </xsl:text>
                                <xsl:variable name="headline" select="fcs:headline/fcs:paragraph"/>
                                <xsl:variable name="cut" select="substring($headline,0,50)"/>
                                <xsl:variable name="index" select="0"/>
                                    <xsl:value-of select="$cut"/>

                            </a></h3>

I am having this output


        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="text">
                <h3><a href="javascript:sendContentRequest({1}-1)">1. Students' Paths To Small Colleges Can Bypass SAT </a></h3>
            </td>
        </tr>

I want to see ><a href="javascript:sendContentRequest({1}-1)"> as ><a href="javascript:sendContentRequest(0)"> how can I manage to do it?




Your attitude determines your altitude

Ok I solved that problem too but Thanks Michael Thanks Joe. I have really learnt lots of things from this topic. And Michael you are gonna earn a bit money from me. I am gonna buy your book :))
I have written (<xsl:number value="position()-1" format="1" /> and it was the solution.
