Subject: RE: [xsl] Testing / Comparing dates From: "Andrew Smith" <andrew.smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2006 11:24:37 -0000 |
I had to do a similar thing in the past (compare today's day with a stored date) and found http://www.exslt.org/date/index.html. There's a list of templates there you can use to do date manipulation. The date I used were in YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS format though, although you could easily add on 'T00:00:00' if it needs it. I had a problem on my live site when I was testing it though and needed to make a small change to one of the templates. If you find something's not working you might want to use my altered template (you can find it here http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200602/msg00544.html) Hope this helps Andy -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Johnson [mailto:Aaron2.Johnson@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 24 March 2006 11:00 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [xsl] Testing / Comparing dates Hello... I have some xml: <submissionDeadline>2006-17-12</submissionDeadline> I would like to test this element against a parameter containing the current date so as to display two lists, a list of items on time and a list of items that are late. As far as I am aware, the parameter will be the same format. I thought if the dates were passed as integers [20061712] it may be possible to do a greater than of less than test. Can you compare dates as they are in this form, and if so, how? Thanks for your advice... ..................................................................
