Re: msxml3.0 SP1 can't compare??

There is no ">" operator for strings in XPath (and XSLT), therefore the result you
get (the string is first converted to number (NaN) and the result of any comparison
of NaN is false)

The following will work:

<xsl:apply-templates select="//ELEM[translate(@attr, '-', '') 
                                    > 
                                    translate('2001-03-04', '-', '')
                                    ]" />

Hi list members!

Given this XML (no DTD or Schema defined):

<ROOT>
<ELEM attr="2001-02-04" />
<ELEM attr="2001-03-04" />
<ELEM attr="2001-04-04" />
</ROOT>

and this XSL sniplet:

<xsl:apply-templates select="//ELEM[@attr > '2001-03-04']" />

<xsl:template match="ELEM" ...
   print some results
</xsl:template>

i get no results.
there is no difference between the angle-bracket and the char-entity lt.

If i do an equal comparison then i get the expected result for '2001-03-04',
even the unequal compare is ok. --> i'm confused.

When i try this in the ORACLE - xsql - servlet parser it works as expected.

thanks in advance
Klaus
