XSL has a count() function which will return the number of occurrences of the argument. The argument can be expressed to frame the particular type or pattern of occurrence you are trying to test (eg "how many phone numbers has this customer given"?). > As to the W3C, I know they are the source...but I can't seem to > adjust my brain to their writing style, so I find myself looking for > other sources. Yes, formal standards language is difficult. Its sole redeeming advantage is that it is [supposed to be] unambiguous. But you're right, you need to get your head round the sometimes unusual special meanings applied to some words. ///Peter XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
