Hi, I need to process values passed in decimal format. The problem is when numbers are passed in scientific notaion the number() function is not recognizing it and outputs a NaN. This following works fine <xsl:value-of select="format-number((-3.9023177125017977E-4 * 100), '0.00', 'eurofrmt')"/>

but this doesnt <xsl:variable name="temp"><xsl:value-of select = "field1" disable-output-escaping = "no" /> </xsl:variable> <xsl:value-of select = "number($temp)" disable-output-escaping = "yes" />

I read somewhere that xpath2 compliant parsers alone process these kind of data. Should i make some entries in my xsl so that processing is done according to xpath2 or any required specification.

Thanks in advance,
aseef.j
