Remarks

The IHTMLCurrentStyle5::counterReset attribute can contain a list of one or more counters, each one optionally followed by an integer. The integer represents the value that the counter is set to after each occurrence of the element.

If an element both resets and increments a counter, the counter is reset first and then incremented. If the same counter is specified more than once, each reset or increment of the counter is processed in the order specified.

The IHTMLCurrentStyle5::counterIncrement and IHTMLCurrentStyle5::counterReset attributes follow the rules of the CSS cascade. Given two style declarations with the same specificity, only the last one encountered will be processed. For more information about cascade and specificity, see Understanding CSS Selectors.

An element that is not displayed (IHTMLRuleStyle::display attribute set to 'none') and pseudo-elements that do not generate content (IHTMLCurrentStyle5::content attribute set to 'normal') cannot increment or reset a counter.

This property requires Windows Internet Explorer to be in IE8 Standards mode rendering.
