Only a Node (selectSingleNode) or a NodeList (selectNodes) can be retrieved using XPath in MSXML. However, most other XPath engines do provide methods to retrieve a number using XPath. > do I have to use the selectNodes() and check the number of nodes in the > nodeList? Yep, but what is the problem of checking the .length property on a NodeList? Laurens Q42 -----Original Message----- From: Tomas Olsson [mailto:tomas.olsson@s...] Sent: woensdag 5 mei 2004 20:16 To: xml-dev@l... Subject: XPath, count function Hi! I wonder if its possible to use the count function of XPath in JavaScript. 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? /Tomas ----------------------------------------------------------------- The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the subscription manager: <http://www.oasis-open.org/mlmanage/index.php>
