I need to calculate the modulus of a number in XPath, but this won't work:
<xsl:if test="(count()%8)">
How would I do it? Looked at the XPath function reference here, but didn't see anything like that.
THANKS FOR THE PROMPT ANSWERS!

Try
<xsl:if test="(count() mod 8)">
as in XSL you have to use "mod" to get modulus
Also watch out when doing addition/subtraction. When doing addition all should be good with $var1+$var2. But in Subtraction, since a dash (-) is valid in a variable name $var1-$var2 does not work. But $var1 - $var2 should, and number($var1) - number($var2) always should work and you can see an article I wrote about in relation to the use of XPATH in Novell's Identity Manager product.
