RE: how to Display dates in a specific format

After you fix the fact that your file is not XML (bare ampersands are strictly forbidden), this template will do what you want (on element "c9" at least. The rest is left as an exercise for the reader.)

<xsl:template match="/dataroot/GrantNet/c9">
  <xsl:variable name="year"><xsl:value-of select="substring-before(.,'-')" /></xsl:variable>
  <xsl:variable name="month"><xsl:value-of select="substring(substring-after(.,'-'),1,2)" /></xsl:variable>
  <xsl:variable name="day"><xsl:value-of select="substring(substring-after(.,'-'),4,2)" /></xsl:variable>
  <xsl:variable name="date"><xsl:value-of select="$month" />/<xsl:value-of select="$day" />/<xsl:value-of select="$year" /></xsl:variable>
  <xsl:value-of select="$date" />
</xsl:template>

Hi All,

</fldSponsorDesc>

html format.
But I don't know how to display date.I get the date
displayed as 1999-11-15T00:00:00 although I want to
display it as 11/15/1999.

Thanks for help in advance.

Puja
