Hi Guys,
I am trying to print out a html file with a date in words, given date in a
xml file in number format
XSL file:
<xsl:variable name='month' select='substring ($date, 5, 2)'/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test='$month=01'>
<xsl:text>January </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test='$month=02'>
<xsl:text>February </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test='$month=03'>
<xsl:text>March </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test='$month=04'>
<xsl:text>April </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test='$month=05'>
<xsl:text>May </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test='$month=06'>
<xsl:text>June </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test='$month=07'>
<xsl:text>July </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test='$month=08'>
<xsl:text>August </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test='$month=09'>
<xsl:text>September </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test='$month=10'>
<xsl:text>October </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test='$month=11'>
<xsl:text>November </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test='$month=12'>
<xsl:text>December </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
When valuepassed into the date variable is 20020516, I don't get a month.
Infact if the month is from 01 to 09, I dont get a month in words. If the
month is 10 to 12, I get a month displayed. Very very peculiar. I am unable
to find the solution. I tried and printed out the value of the month
variable. It seems to take the 2 digits correctly. However it doesn't go
into the appropraite month code when the month starts with 0!! For example,
if the month is 05, it doesnt go into this part of the code:
<xsl:when test='$month=05'>
<xsl:text>May </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
If the month were 10, 11 or 12, the code works fine.
Can anyone guess what the problem is...
Thanks in advance,
Chandra
