RE: [xsl] Selection based on date comparison

[Jeff Beadle <Jbeadle at manh dot com>]

here's the usage:

<msxsl:script language="JScript" implements-prefix="date"><![CDATA[
function a_is_greater_than_b(a,b){
  return ((new Date(a)) > (new Date(b)));
}
]]></msxsl:script>


<xsl:variable name="filter" select="filtervalues/@timeframe" />
<xsl:... select="Ledger_Entry/[@Distribution_Flag != "" and
date:a_is_greater_than_b(@Trade_date,$filter)] />

why not use a parser extension, like msxsl for msxsl.  You could construct
javascript date objects and compare them.

Unfortunately, the date format is beyond my control at the moment, I 
understand I will have to use substring() in order to compare the dates.
