finding out how many links of the same type

[Mr.Sniper]

lets say i want to click a link that says 'stop search' but i want to make it so that it will only click it if there are 5 links that say 'Dragon'....

I knwo it would be like:

$n = Number of links that say dragon

If $n = 5 then

ieclicklink("stop search")

and so on

(thats just an example for explanation purposes so i know its not right lol)

and what i need to know is how do i make it so that the variable is the number of links that say 'dragon'

if it done'st make sense tell em which part and i'll try to explain it better
