RE: msxml3.0 SP1 can't compare??

change '2001-03-04' to '20010304'
where it is yyyymmdd format.  The less than/greater than comparison done
with a numeric value should work properly.  There are functions available
that will allow you to remove all the '-' characters, ex.
translate(@DateVal,'-','')

Hi list members!

Given this XML (no DTD or Schema defined):

<ROOT>
<ELEM attr="2001-02-04" />
<ELEM attr="2001-03-04" />
<ELEM attr="2001-04-04" />
</ROOT>

and this XSL sniplet:

<xsl:apply-templates select="//ELEM[@attr > '2001-03-04']" />

<xsl:template match="ELEM" ...
   print some results
</xsl:template>

i get no results.
there is no difference between the angle-bracket and the char-entity lt.

If i do an equal comparison then i get the expected result for '2001-03-04',
even the unequal compare is ok. --> i'm confused.

When i try this in the ORACLE - xsql - servlet parser it works as expected.

thanks in advance
Klaus
