Hello Tomas,

Why can't just issue this xpath within XSL directly?

<xsl:variable name="fnamn-count" select="count(//n[@fnamn='Tomas'])"/>

Or, do you have to do this within a script element?

Subject:  XPath count function in JavaScript


Hi!

I wonder if its possible to use the count function of XPath in JavaScript 
instead of in XSL. I'm using MSXML.

I want to count the number of elements with the attribute fnamn="Tomas" and 
return the number:

count(//*[@fnamn="Tomas"])) 

Is it possible to use that expression in a function in JavaScript and return

the number or do I have to use the selectNodes() and check the number of
nodes 
in the nodeList?
