Remarks

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

This property is used to generate numbered content for each occurrence of an element. The counter need not be defined before it is incremented. To reset a counter value, use the IHTMLCurrentStyle5::counterReset attribute.

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.
