Ahoy matie,
I use this javascript bit as below.. much more painless
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
//-- returns the current date in mm.dd.yyyy format as a string :
function todayStr()
{ var today=new Date()
return
today.getMonth()+1+"."+today.getDate()+"."+(today.getYear()) }
//-->
</script>
</head>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<span style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:bold;">
a/o <script>document.write(todayStr())</script>
</span>
</td>
</tr>
cheers,
- Flashlight

Subject: [xsl] Current Date and Time
Is there an easy way to get the current date and time in XSLT? If not
how could you do this.
XSLT 1.0 has no built-in date/time functionality, but if portability is not
an issue you may be able to use extension libraries like EXSLT:
http://www.exslt.org/date/index.html. There's no guarantee a given
processor supports all EXSLT functionality, of course.
XSLT 2.0 (in working draft) also provides date/time functionality:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#format-date.
