(I wouldn't use XSLT). XSLT is an XML transformation language, your form is presumably in some html page somewhere, so isn't really related to XSLT at all. If the form is in a page you are creating from XSLT, then just put the javascript in the generated page, it is just character data as far as XSLT is concerned, it will be executed as javascript once the page you generate is given to an html/javascript engine. Similarly if the form is constructing an xml file that you are going to pass to xslt, then it's just a javascript/html question of validating the form, XSLT doesn't need to know how its input was generated. > Just the other day another user introduced me > exslt, I believe is what its called.

XSLT doesn't have any specific date formating functios so you have to use the string handling, this seems a bit cumbersome at first but you can use existing code, eg exslt's and often you'll find teh xslt vesrion is quicker (and always more portable) than going out to a foreign language such as javascript: inter-language communication introduces a lot of overheads.
