Hi Benjamin,
Thanks for your reply. It looks like this solution works for me.
But I already have all that code in javascript. I use it in other places.
I have more data types like Date, Currency and Time. I am trying to re-use it
here.
And I found a stupid work around for my original problem. Like
loading the xml from RegOpts[0] in the init() function into a new DOM and
accessing that from there.
I know it is lame but working.
Now I can re-write all that in xsl but question is
1) Which is faster in transformation, xsl or JavaScript?
2) Is it really good maintaining two copies(xsl and javascript) of same code?
(I know this second question is not really for the forum. It is for myself)

Murali,
It's past my time to head home, but it appears that your javascript is
not really needed. All of what you do there could be done in XSL. If my
quick glance was correct, you have different date formats defined by the
element Date/ShortFormat. I didn't have a chance to look close enough to
how each of these formats are defined in your switch statement in your
javascript , but perhaps this gives an idea of how to go about it...
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:ri="urn:schemas.abcd-com:RepInven"
xmlns:s="urn:schemas.abcd-com:Static"
xmlns:l="urn:schemas.abcd-com:layers">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:variable name="Date" select="l:data/s:RegionalOptions/s:Date"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<_Ctrl xmlns="">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="l:data/ri:Rpt_Inven/ri:Inven/ri:EffectiveDate"/>
</_Ctrl>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ri:Rpt_Inven/ri:Inven/ri:EffectiveDate">
<_Item>
<xsl:call-template name="convertDate">
<xsl:with-param name="date" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
</_Item>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="convertDate">
<xsl:param name="date"/>
<xsl:variable name="year" select="substring($date,1,4)"/>
<xsl:variable name="month" select="substring($date,6,2)"/>
<xsl:variable name="day" select="substring($date,9,2)"/>
<!-- put a choose/when for each of your different formats and use the
variables as needed... -->
<xsl:value-of select="$month"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$Date/s:Separator"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$day"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$Date/s:Separator"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$year"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
again, I just whipped this together and realized, it's time to head home for
me...so if you don't get an answer by tomorrow morning I'll try to
understand your javascript better then...

Hi guys,
Lets try to forget everything that started b'cos of me. We are here to
help each other, not to fight.
Try to be as friendly as possible and help each other.
I tried the namespace(you can see that in my modified code in init()
function) as Michael Kay said. But I have no luck.
This is what I am exactly doing and want to do. Can anybody give any
suggestions?
Thanks.

With this xml and xsl, I am expecting my out some thing like
<_Ctrl xmlns="" xmlns:lay="urn:schemas.abcd-com:layers"
xmlns:rep="urn:schemas.abcd-com:RepInven"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:scrdt="urn:schemas.abcd-com:datatypes"
xmlns:stat="urn:schemas.abcd-com:Static">
<_Item>
05/30/2003
</_Item>
<_Item>
07/30/2003
</_Item>
</_Ctrl>
But it is always producing something like
<_Ctrl xmlns="" xmlns:lay="urn:schemas.abcd-com:layers"
xmlns:rep="urn:schemas.abcd-com:RepInven"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:scrdt="urn:schemas.abcd-com:datatypes"
xmlns:stat="urn:schemas.abcd-com:Static">
<_Item>
2003-05-30
</_Item>
<_Item>
2003-07-30
</_Item>
</_Ctrl>
I think this b'cos I am not able to get access to the <Date/> node
in the script function. And whenever I say RegOpts(i).firstChild , I am
getting the result I want.
Any ideas about. I am very desperate for this.
thanks,
~Mur
