Many thanks for your reply.
This seems to be a limitation of JXPath.
OK
I'll try to look into it.
That would be great.
As a workaround you can set your own loop index variable:
<t:set var="position" value="#{1}"/>
<t:forEach items="#{pageNames}">
<a href="#" onmousedown="doAction('#{$PAGEACTION}','#{$position}')">#{.}</a><br/>
<t:set var="position" value="#{$position + 1}"/>
</t:forEach>
I tried to do something similar to the above yesterday, could not get it to work (struggling with the syntax), so output {index,data} from my Bean instead, which is a bit of a hack ..... so I'll try your workaround.

Hi All,
Anyone got an idea what I am doing wrong here?
I have a java.util.ArrayList called "pageNames", populated with Strings, that I want to output (along with their index) using JX Template.
<t:forEach items="#{pageNames}">
<a href="#" onmousedown="doAction('#{$PAGEACTION}','#{position()}')">#{.}</a><br/>> >
</t:forEach>
The output I get looks like this:
<a href="#" onmousedown="doAction('PAGE_THUS','0')">Abdu'Allah</a><br/>
<a href="#" onmousedown="doAction('PAGE_THUS','0')">Budgett</a><br/>
<a href="#" onmousedown="doAction('PAGE_THUS','0')">Evans</a><br/>
...... ^
ie. 'position()' is not working as I would expect it to do, (from my experience with XSLT).
Should I expect it to work the same way? Is there an alternative way of doing this?
Thanks for any help
regards Jeremy
