position of a child node

xsl child node ignore
Hi all:

I hope I can get an answer to these questions:

    Suppose I have the following portion of an xml file

<testcase>
  <child1>first text</child1>
  <child2>
    <child21>
        some text here
    </child21>
  </child2>
</testcase>

and my context node is "testcase" and I want to find out the position of the
descendant text node "some text here", whats the easiest way to do that?, I
been
playing with "<xsl:number>" and "count()" with no success.

I really will want to know that position without having to change my context
node, which leads me to another question ....., if I do traverse the tree
down
to where the text is, Is there a way to change the context node  back to
"testcase"?

Greetings,
Carmelo Montanez
