Thanks for the suggestion Jeni. I found an even easier answer though, I
had a pagenumber attribue in the page
node already. Doh!@
<xsl:variable name="pageNumber"
select="../../@Pagenumber" />
was all I needed

Hi Geoff,
So what I want to do is make $pageNumber = position() -1 for the
page node while I am in the (grandchild) Field node. How can I
accomplish this? I'm scratching my head on this one
Try counting the number of preceding sibling Page elements the
ancestor Page element has and adding one to get the position:
count(ancestor::Page/preceding-sibling::Page) + 1
By the way, you might find your template a bit clearer if you used an
attribute value template to create the style attribute:
<xsl:template match="Field">
<xsl:variable name="pageNumber"
select="count(ancestor::Page/preceding-sibling::Page) + 1" />
<xsl:variable name="top"
select="@Top * 0.06666 + ($pageNumber * $pageHeight)" />
<div style="position: absolute;
top: {$top};
left: {(_at_)Left * 0.06666};
font-size: {(_at_)FontSize}pt;
font-family: {(_at_)FontFamily};">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</div>
</xsl:template>
Cheers,
Jeni
