Hello,

     I'm working in a xslt file that has to count the number of child nodes of an specific parent node.I've been looking at the function
"count" but I don´t know how to call it.

Example:

<a>
  <b> </b>
  <b> </b>
  <b> </b>
</a>

Output 3

<xsl:template match="a">

<xsl:value-of select="count(child::b)"/>????????

</xsl:template>

Thanks for the help.

Tomi.

Your code looks fine.
