I don't think you can use the assignto that way when the param is a child of outputlink.  In that case its used as a replacement for an item in the link detail.  if you want to update properties in the controller, you'll need to use a commandlink.

Hi Prakash ,

Bob is right.u need to use command link if u wana pass the value to controller.

<apex:commandLink value="Remove" style="color:red" action="{!remove}" reRender="recTable">
<apex:param name="param" value="{!rec.rowNumber}" assignTo="{!rowNo}"/>
</apex:commandLink>

here is a piece of code from my project where i have used a same logic.



Mark it as a solution if u want.
