xsl 1.0 and current date

keithrus

Hi All,

Trying to complete some xsl 1.0 coding.

I am aware that version 2.0 will solve the issue, however parameters beyond my control do not allow me to use it(xsl.2.0).

As a result I probably need to create a function to get this date.

The reason I need to use it is I need to compare the current date with the date in the feed to see whether or not it is in the past. I would then use the function to display a different background.

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="//market[@NAME='Win-Draw-Win'] and //market[@TSSTART > $now] ">
<xsl:value-of select="$bgRef" />_2_markets_<xsl:value-of select="$WideType"/>

</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>BS_2_markets_<xsl:value-of select="$WideType"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>


The function in xsl 2.0 is:

<xsl:variable name="now" select="format-dateTime(current-dateTime(),'[D01]/[M01]/[Y] [H]:[m]:')" />


so I need something like this in a function level.

Where do I start?

Many thanks for your help.
