If I've understood this right then what we are comparing is the text values
of the nodes not the string value so:

given the this input:

<solution>Inhalt
	<valid_input>Inhalt</valid_input>
	<valid_input>Inhalt_1</valid_input>
	<valid_input>Inhalt</valid_input>
</solution>

then this gives what is asked for:

<xsl:variable name="total"
select="count(solution/valid_input[normalize-space(./text())=normalize-space
(../text())])" />

ie 2

Thank you,
if it is not possible to select all valid inputs that have the same string
value of their parent, is it possible to select the solution tag with a few
attribute?
<solution valid_input_00="Inhalt" valid_input_01="Inhalt1"
valid_input_02="Inhalt2" ...>Inhalt</solution>
My problem is to count how many valid_inputs have the same string value as
the solution tag.
