Hi Kang,
You can handle numbers like these using an MSXML4 extension function. There
may be other ways, but if you have msxml4 then you can do this:
==xml==
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<number>4.8803077704e+06</number>
</root>
==xsl==
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:ms="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="root/number"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="number">
<xsl:value-of select="ms:number(.)"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
==html page==(to apply transformation)
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function applyXSL() {
var xml = new ActiveXObject('MSXML2.DOMDocument.4.0');
xml.async = false;
xml.load('theXmlFile.xml');
var xsl = new ActiveXObject('MSXML2.DOMDocument.4.0');
xsl.async = false;
xsl.load('theXslFile.xsl');
document.write(xml.transformNode(xsl));
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="javascript:applyXSL();">
</body>
</html>
==output==
4880307.7704
You will need to have msxml4 installed. You can download this from:

Subject: why isn't there data-type for variable like sort?
I have asked translations exponent number value like "4.8803077704e+06" into
decimal one within XSLT.
At first, I tried number format="something" but failed. I think number
element is not the way for this task.
I struggle to remember how I did handle the numbers on other languages. and
found that I need a type cast.
that's because XML handle all data only as string, not other one.
Is this right? IMHO variable have to support data-type attribute. but I
can't feel sure for my say. I'm newbie to XSL world.
well, Is there any way to translate 4.8803077704e+06 into decimal one?
