Dates and XSL
Subject: Dates and XSL From: "Jon Smirl" <jonsmirl@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 31 Oct 1999 14:44:47 -0500 |
What's the best way to deal with dates? When my dates come out of the database they look like: 1999-10-29 13:00:00.0. When displaying this date I want to either show October or pick October from a dropdown menu so this means I have to break apart the date. I also need to reorder it depending on the display format. Should I break it apart at XML generation time into <year>1999</year><month>10</month>, etc? or would it be better to pick it apart with the XSL substring function? It's clear to me that XSL should have date support built in. I'm not happy with any of the solutions I've come up with, does anyone have any better ideas?
