I also tried that syntax in fact it was the first 
one i tried, it also does not work, how does the 
counter get evaluated... is there any way to do 
something like url(toString(counter(list, decimal)) ".gif"); ?

I think i need to get into the inner workings of 
the counter and URL parameters see how they are 
implemented and try to see if there is a way to 
get the return from the counter propriety, and 
concatenate it with the file extension... any pointers on how to do this?

Thanks
