If you don't need the counter, just use the normal list tag and don't use render tags for this purpose.

Thanks for your responses. @Jian: I try to avoid using preexecutes. I was taught that preexecutes usually add a performance hit. The client I'm working for is using quite a few preexecutes and I don't want to add to them unless neccessary. @Richard: The list items are used by a jquery slider as the tab navigation for the items in the slider. This section is just spitting out the <li> and anchors so the css and jquery can manipulate them later.

There are million ways to add the 1,2,3 on the client side if you must. Are you generating simple HTML, asp.net <http://asp.net> or something else?

Type conversion. Store:counter is returned as Int32, but rendertag doesn't support arithmetic. If you do .ToString() and then see if then see if there are any functions in the String class that support anything or something that can further your need. In short, most likely no, there is one way I know, but it involves pseudo arithmetic using ifs and strings. Try preexecution? The other way is to use JQuery, way less clunky JavaScript.

I'm not very experienced in using the <foreach> but I've been able to get it to partially work for my needs. There is one minor remaining thing that I'm sure can be done cleaner but I'm not sure how to go about it. Basically, I trying to output the contents of a list Element as an unordered list items containing sequential links i.e.: <li><a class="" title="" href="">1</a></li> <li><a class="" title="" href="">2</a></li> etc. Here is what I have: <reddot:cms> <foreach itemname="item" object="Context:CurrentPage.GetElementByName(lst_feature).Value" countername="counter"> <htmltext> <li><a class="" title="<%!! Store:item.Headline !!%>" href="javascript:;"><script>document.write(<%!! Store:counter !!%> + 1);</script></a></li> </htmltext> </foreach> </reddot:cms> I don't like using the JavaScript there. Just seems really clunky. I'm sure there is a cleaner way to do this. Any wisdom is much appreciated.
