Re: [xsl] Header/Footer asking.

["Mihail Mutu" <mihailmg@xxxxxxxx>]

    I make a report and I want a Header and a Footer on every page of it.
The Footer is the same on every page, but
in the Header I have to write number of page like this "page 1/2" and other
informations, so I think I can't resolve
the problem with the page-break-before/after....I have to do the report
 in html, so I couldn't use XSL-FO... :(
    Did anybody know if exist a method of how should I do that ?

Thanks.

P.S.: Thank you Andrew for your response.
