RE: Jscript/vbscript problems in XSL

2002-11-08 02:04:32
Hi everyone,I'm very new to XSL and am not very good
with _vbscript or _javascript. I cannot bring vbscript
and javascript functions into XSL. Right now I'm
trying to do a simple date formatting function.

Here's a suggestion: don't try. Force yourself to write the code in XSLT
instead, until you have thoroughly mastered the language. Only then will
you be able to judge the cases where it's better to make a call to a
different language. Calls from XSLT to external languages should be
avoided for all sorts of reasons, one of which is that they are
non-portable.
