(Is that not the > goal?) Perhaps to bring in the less aware list readers, I wonder if a few examples of use would help others express their views? Perhaps a few 'extreme' examples, from either end of the spectrum would help in this. Suggestions: 1. A usage illustrating portability. Say get and re-format the date in ecmascript, which could also use a java extension, as per DC comment. - Regularly asked for? Reasonably 'safe'. 2. A nasty. xsl:script to run a command rm -r * 3. Anyone suggest any others to illustrate good or bad features of in line scripting? Regards DaveP XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
