Hello,

use
	<xsl:value-of select="count(//TEMP)"/>
if you want to count ALL <TEMP>-Elements in all subtrees

use
	<xsl:value-of select="count(TEMP)"/>
if you want to count the <TEMP>-Elements in current subtree

use
	<xsl:value-of select="count(/ROOT/TEMP)"/>
if you want to count only those <TEMP>-Elements which are children of
<ROOT>-Element.

Michael.

Betreff:  tag/element count


I would like to know how many times tag/element exists in my xml
document

eg.

<TEMP>
  test
</TEMP>
<TEMP>
  test1
</TEMP>

this would be a count of 2....
