string-length(whatever) equivalent required

Hello All.

I need to perform various tests on strings in my XSLT to decide on further
processing.  The string-length function is the one I need the most, but is
not supported in IE5 (which I must use) and the technology previews are no
use.  Is there a way in the IE5 parser to perform an equivalent function and
any other string functions come to that.

Or is my best bet to create some Javasript functions?

Thanks for any Help.
