That onclick="GetDetail(this.rowIndex)" has nothing to do with XSLT, it 
is client-side script in the HTML the XSLT generates. You seem to insist 
to overlook that difference.
In
   <tr onclick="GetDetail(this.rowIndex)"
the this object is a HTMLTableRowElement object which has a property 
named rowIndex. It does not have any properties like colIndex or 
cellIndex as that is a property that HTMLTableCellElement objects have. 
I have outlined how to find a cell from the event object. And a cell 
then has a property cellIndex
   <http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-HTML/html.html#ID-80748363>
which you can use.
