How do you select nodes that aren't on a pages ancestor list?

I have a tree that looks like

- Content

    - Contentpages

    - Types

        - ListofTypes

I want to get the list of types from within a content page, so i need to navigate up the content tree and back down the Types branch, or start from the very root of Umbraco - any ideas?

Thanks

Check out xpath.

You navigate up by using "..", e.g. parent of currentpage is "$currentPage/.." and concat further navigation like "$currentPage/../node [@nodeTypeAlias='Types'] etc.

You can refer to the root in pultiple ways, e.g. "
```
$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::root
```
