Re: count nodes with xsl

["Chuck White" <chuck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

IE5 does not support the xsl:number element. You'll probably have to go into
the DOM IE5 supports and manage this stuff in script. Without knowing too
much about what you're trying to do, I would guess you'll want to access the
nodes like so:

YourNodeList = YourXmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("article")

This is assuming the "article" node is an element. You can use the "length"
property and "item()" method to manage a node list. I recommend going to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/reference/scriptref/XMLDOMNodeList_object.asp
for more info on how to manage node lists in IE5, and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/reference/xsl/start.asp for XML/XSL in IE5 in
general. IE5 is really quite different in the way it handles XSL than where
current standards are at.
