In 2.0 you can compare dates directly. If there's a schema that defines
submissionDeadline to be a date, you just do
submissionDeadline > current-date()
If not, you just cast it:
xs:date(submissionDeadline) > current-date()
In 1.0 you're stuck with numeric comparison. You can do
number(transate(submissionDeadline), '-', '') > $currentDate
where $currentDate is a parameter in the format 20060323

Subject: [xsl] Testing / Comparing dates
Hello...
I have some xml:
<submissionDeadline>2006-17-12</submissionDeadline>
I would like to test this element against a parameter
containing the current
date so as to display two lists, a list of items on time and
a list of items
that are late.
As far as I am aware, the parameter will be the same format.
I thought if the dates were passed as integers [20061712] it
may be possible
to do a greater than of less than test.
Can you compare dates as they are in this form, and if so, how?
Thanks for your advice...
