Re: [xsl] Date problem

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

<xsl:element name="form">
	<xsl:attribute name="action">page</xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:attribute name="method">post</xsl:attribute>
 	<xsl:attribute name="ID">form1</xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:element name="input">
		<xsl:attribute name="type">hidden</xsl:attribute>
		<xsl:attribute name="name">system</xsl:attribute>
		<xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of select="@System"/></xsl:attribute>
	</xsl:element>
	<xsl:element name="input">
		<xsl:attribute name="type">hidden</xsl:attribute>
		<xsl:attribute name="name">todayDate</xsl:attribute>
		<xsl:attribute name="value">????????</xsl:attribute>
	</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>

That could much more easily be written


<form action="page" method="post" ID="form1">
 <input type="hidden" name="system" value="{@System}"/>
 <input type="hidden" name="todayDate" value="?????"/>
</form>

Simplest is to use

 <input type="hidden" name="todayDate" value="{$today}"/>

tokether with a top level param

<xsl:param name="today" select="'1066'"/>

and then just pass in the daate as a parameter when you call the
stylesheet.
