XSL Gurus: Using Javascript in XSL

[dwarfthrower]

Howdy,

I'm writing a portal application for a client and need to be able to present the contents of the user's mailbox as a nicely formatted HTML page.

I've got the XML source coming out of the Domino server and my XSL is processing it nicely - sort by date and all that.

My problem is that the date is being rendered in the Domino format

20030519T020629,46+10

which, if seen by Joe User, usually elicits a shrill scream. Writing the Javascript to convert this to a more user-friendly dd/mm/yyyy is easy. My problem is including the Javascript in the xsl file so that instead of calling:

<xsl:value-of select=&quot;entrydata[@columnnumber='2']/datetime&quot; />

which returns the ugly system date representation,

I can call something along the lines of:

formatdate(<xsl:value-of select=&quot;entrydata[@columnnumber='2']/datetime&quot; />)

and return a nicely formatted date.

Any assistance on including scripts in XSL would be heartily appreciated.

Cheers

Nevermind, I found the native XSL substring() function.

<xsl:value-of select=&quot;substring(entrydata[@columnnumber='2']/datetime,7,2)&quot; />/<xsl:value-of select=&quot;substring(entrydata[@columnnumber='2']/datetime,5,2)&quot; />/<xsl:value-of select=&quot;substring(entrydata[@columnnumber='2']/datetime,1,4)&quot; />

Works perfectly.
