Subject: Mystery xslt wrapper around my stylesheet?

I have a stylesheet something like this:

<xsl:template match="/">
<Cart>
<CartTotal>
<xsl:value-of select="Cart/CartItem[1]/CartTotal"/>
</CartTotal>
<Param name="time_entered"><xsl:value-of select="fn:current-dateTime()"/></Param>

</Cart>
</xsl:template>

I have a two pronged question:
1) How to set the value of time_entered to current date and time.
I'm getting an error that namespace fn is not edefined.
2) I went to another stylehsheet that I had, and it had the following xml at the top.

<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl var" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" xmlns:var="http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/var" xmlns:ns0="http://www.odimo.com/OrderEntry/OdimoGenericOrder.xsd">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" version="1.0" method="xml" indent="yes"/>
(and the corresponding close tag at the bottom).

I tried adding the <xsl:stylesheet> tag to my Cart stylesheet above, and started getting strange errors. When I add <?xml version='1.0' ?>
to the top of the Cart Stylesheet, it says error online 3. So somehow, it thinks the <?xml> directive is on line 3.

Do I somehow have a hidden <xsl:stylesheet> on line 1 and 2 that I cannot see?

Hi Neal,

You need to close the stylesheet element.
Below is a well formed version of what you have described.
Note that this is XSLT 2 stylesheet so it runs only with the Saxon processor.

In XSLT 1.0 there is no built-in fucntion to get the current date/time so you can either use an extension fucntion or pass the date as global parameter. Search the forum to see how use global parameters.

hope this helps

I didn't make myself clear. I have a working Stylsheet that actually has NO <xslt:stylesheet> element. Not sure why it works, but it does.

When I try to add the stylesheet element, I get errors on line "3".
This confused me at first, because I look at line 3 and I don't see the error. Finally when I added the <?xml version='1.0' ?> and I still get errors on line 3, I'm thinking that there is a magically built <xslt:stylesheet> statement being built for me that I cannot see?

Does that make any sense at all? So is there an autogenerated non-visible <xslt:stylehseet> somewhere generated or built-in to Stylus Studio?

Thanks,
Neal Walters

If the stylesheet has just a template element is not suppose to work.

By any chance did you switch to template mode?
See "Working with Templates" in the Stylus Studio's documentation.

Hope this helps
