Re: Parsing a List


Hello Ken,

the question is, what fremwork you are using. How can you pass the parameter 
to the stylesheet. It's not possible with pure XSLT 1.0. Either you need 
something like a servlet or a javascript/xslt-framework for example with 
Internet Explorer.

Then there could be a link like

<a href="list.html?first={$first - $count}&amp;count={$count}">previous</a>

and

<a href="list.html?first={$first + $count}&amp;count={$count}">next</a>
