count

hi all,
	sorry if it is a FAQ...i am in a hurry...
suppose that i have 5 tag
<animal name=hh>
<animal name=tiger>
<animal name=cat>
<animal name=dog>
<animal name=bear>

i am looking for a function that can count,as the template is applied, which
number of occurrence is the node(forgive my bad speaking)....

for example, as it parses(again, sorry for the language) animal= hh it
should return 1
						        animal=tiger
return 2

sorry if i am stupid or ignorant, but does the function position() does the
same(or something like that)?

thanx to all
regards
	marco
