Francis, >Hmm... MSXML4 includes support for W3C XML Schema in XSLT and XPath - >maybe XSLT 2.0 is coming sooner than we thought! This is what I could find on that. Microsoft XPath Extension Functions The XML Path Language (XPath) 1.0 does not support expressions that evaluate nodes based on data type, so MSXML provides a number of XPath extension functions for this purpose. XPath extension functions require a namespace prefix. For more information, see Defining Namespace Prefixes for Extension Functions. XSD Support Extension Functions Function Description ms:type-is Compares the current node's data type against the specified node type. ms:type-local-name ([node-set]) Returns the nonqualified name of the XSD type of the current node or the first node (in document order) in the provided node-set. ms:type-namespace-uri ([node-set]) Returns the namespace URI associated with the XSD type of a current node or the first node (in document order) in the provided node-set. ms:schema-info-available Returns true if XSD information is available for a current node. Miscellaneous Extension Functions ms:string-compare Performs lexicographical string comparison. ms:utc Converts the prefixed date/time related values into Coordinated Universal Time and into a fixed (normalized) representation that can be sorted and compared lexicographically. ms:namespace-uri Resolves the prefix part of a qualified name into a namespace URI. ms:local-name Returns the local name part of a qualified name by stripping out the namespace prefix. ms:number Takes a string argument in XSD format and converts it into an XPath number. ms:format-date Converts standard XSD date formats to characters suitable for output. ms:format-time Converts standard XSD time formats to characters suitable for output. It is worth downloading just to get the help file. Ciao Chris Oh look at that!! In the section Creating Interactive xslt/Extending xslt I wonder where they got those ideas from??? Surely not from my dirTOxml et al XML/XSL Portal http://www.bayes.co.uk/xml XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
