2. Another question is that I also want to make a menu for selecting a
month. I want to use the names of the months, not the numbers. How can
I, with XSL, produce something equivalent to an array filled with the
names of the months?


I had this same problem; as I'm restricted to XSLT 1, I had to think
outside the box.  I wrote a simple Web service which takes an ISO 8601
date and returns an XML snippet containing the format I desire, say
"Monday, January 4th, 2010".  My XSLT code builds an URL like
http://example.org/date?iso=2010-01-04 to call using document(), to
replace 2010-01-04 with human-readable text.  Caching is enabled.  HTH.
