Hi Nigel, > I have a requirement to find out how many times an Element of a > particular name occurs in a subtree of document below a Node n.

The Element interface contains the getElementsByTagName method which "returns a NodeList of all descendant elements with a given tag name ..." That is what you want, isn't it? So where is the problem? Regards, Oliver /-------------------------------------------------------------------\ | ob|do Dipl.Inf.
