XSL GetDate function ?
-
Is there a way to get the current system date using XSL? I don't merely want to format an existing date, I want to dynamically create a line of output that reads "created on: {current date}" without having to go into my XML file and enter the current date manually. Todd

Hi, I think the only way to do this is to pass in the date and pick it up in your stylesheet as a global parameter using
xsl:param. The way you pass parameters in to the stylesheet is processor specific, so for instance in .Net there is aXsltArgumentListclass. Cheers Phil Hobgen barbari.co.uk Southampton, UK -

Cheers Phil Hobgen barbari.co.uk Southampton, UKThanks Phil! You hit the nail right on the head. I was working on a stylesheet transformation for C#'s XML documentation feature as a way to teach myself XSL. Todd Piltingsrud kitntodd@charter.net Farmington, MN USA
