Re: Date Difference

since xslt2 seems to be ok,something like this seems to work (returning
-1 0 or 1 depending whether the dates are greater equal or less) this is
assuming us date format, switch round [1] and [2] for ddmmyyyy.

<xsl:stylesheet
   version="2.0"
   xmlns:x="data:,x"
   xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
>


<xsl:function name="x:date">
 <xsl:param name="d1"/>
 <xsl:variable name="s" select="tokenize($d1,'/')"/>
<xsl:value-of
 select="xs:integer($s[3])*10000+xs:integer($s[1])*100+xs:integer($s[2])"/>
</xsl:function>

<xsl:template name="main">
:<xsl:value-of
select="compare(x:date('9/11/2004'),x:date('10/25/2005'))"/>
:<xsl:value-of
select="compare(x:date('10/25/2005'),x:date('9/11/2004'))"/>
:<xsl:value-of
select="compare(x:date('10/25/2005'),x:date('10/25/2005'))"/>
</xsl:template>



</xsl:stylesheet>
