RE: [xsl] Date Comparison using ">=" and "<=" doesn't work - WHY!?!?

["Gregory Pearson" <GregP@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.  Thanks for the reply.  It still doesn't work for me using the "<" syntax ...

This works:  (it selects the xml data for the date 2/12/02)

     Style.XMLDocument.selectNodes("//xsl:apply-templates/@select")(1).value = "record[Date = '2/12/02']";	

This does NOT work:  (it should select xml data for any dates after 2/11/02 which should include the date 2/12/02)

     Style.XMLDocument.selectNodes("//xsl:apply-templates/@select")(1).value = "record[Date > '2/11/02']";

              ERROR MESSAGE RECEIVED:
                            
                           Unexpected character in query string.

                           records[record[Date -->&<-- gt; '2/11/02']]


It doesn't seem to like the "&" in the "&gt;" syntax.  I'm running MXSML 4.0.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks again.

You have to use the escaped versions: &lt; and &gt; (well, technically, only
the "<" character must be escaped, but it's best to do both).

So the comparison should be date &gt;='2/10/02' and Date &lt;='2/15/2002'

Weird, I know. But it works. Taken from Mike Kay's book XSLT 2d Edition,
page 416.
