Re: Date variable ?!

if you sort by the reverse of your date(26.11.2003) i.e. 20031126 ....



you can extract and sort using substring on your date i.e.
<xsl:foreach.............
<xsl:sort data-type="number" select="substring(@date,6,4)"/>/<xsl:value-of
select="substring(@date,3,2)"/>/<xsl:value-of select="substring(@date,1,2)"
order="ascending"/>
<xsl:if position()=1>

</xsl:if>

Syntax and substring result is most likely wrong but i think it would work.

Hello

I have a simple XML document wit lots of elements : "testCase"
every "testCase" has an attribute such as      startedOn="26.11.2003
11:41:30"
In my xslt programm, I would like to extract the earliest startedOn
attribute among all the testCase elements.
That means, look through all the values of the attribute and find a way
tget
the earliest date.
(if it is too complicated with the Time, we can only focus on the date)

If you have any idea, I thank you in advance.
