Re: [xsl] Hello - how do I use the count function properly?

Dan,

The other issue here is your duplication of code, when the only 
difference between the two branches is the presence of the @style 
attribute in one.

Consider something like this:

<xsl:template match="category">
  <xsl:for-each select="child::category">
    <div class="cat_module">
      <xsl:if test="position() mod 4 = 0">
        <xsl:attribute name="style">
          <xsl:text>margin-right: 0px !important</xsl:text>
        </xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:if>
      <h2>
       <a href="{descendant::link}">
        <xsl:value-of select="@display_name"/>
        <img src="{descendant::image}" alt=""/>
       </a>
      </h2>
      <a href="{descendant::link}">
       <span>Shop Now</span>
      </a>
     </div>
  </xsl:for-each>
 </xsl:template>

Cheers,
Wendell
