int countNodesBefore(Node node, short nodeType)
Count the DOM nodes of the supplied type (nodeType) before the supplied node, not including the node itself.

int countNodesBetween(Node node1, Node node2, short nodeType)
Count the DOM nodes of the supplied type (nodeType) between the supplied sibling nodes, not including the nodes themselves.
