xsl counter example
thanks for the responses

i'm using the XSL Tester that can be downloaded from www.vbxml.com and it
uses IE 5 to confirm the XSL.

i've been looking at their site and found the XSLT reference, to comprehense
my understanding and making things a bit cleaner i've made the next sheet

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">

<xsl:template match="book">
    <HTML>
      <HEAD>
	<TITLE></TITLE>
      </HEAD>
	<BODY><xsl:value-of name="chapter"/></BODY>
     </HTML>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="book">
	xsl:number count name="chapter"
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

xsl:counter is indeed not used anymore as pointed out by Jonathan and
Wendell. so i replaced it by "number"  and "count", i hope i understand
this in the right way.

if i make the call in the body to display the count of the number of
chapters
in the xml document "book" it display nothing. all i want to do is display
in the
body the number of chapter for example, if i got that, counting the other
properties is quite the same.

Regards
Brian.

Okay, with trepidation, I suggest the questions, why "<", ">" in your
xmlnx declarations?  remove them from inside the quotes and see how it
behaves, I'm also curious why there is not "match=" on your first
template.  Don't you mean to match "/" ?

It's also not clear the context node for your "match="text()"" - cf. the
preceding absence of a mtach= statement.
