JScript XSL problems

[nilun75]

Hi, I have a problem with a probably simple xsl that uses javascript.
Hope anyone can help me with this one.

Code
--------
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.1"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:js="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/java.lang.String"
xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt">

<msxml:script language="JScript" implements-prefix="js">
function retTime() {
var currentTime = new Date();
var month = currentTime.getMonth()+1;
var day = currentTime.getDate();
var year = currentTime.getFullYear();

var hour = currentTime.getHours();
var mins = currentTime.getMinutes();
var secs = currentTime.getSeconds();

return(year + "" + month + "" + day + "" + hour + "" + mins + "" +
secs)
}
</msxml:script>

<xsl:template match="/">
<DATETIME>
<xsl:value-of select="js:retTime()"/>
<xsl:text>***SOME_TEXT***</xsl:text>
</DATETIME>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

---

Error message I get is:
<Line 23, Column 40>: XML-22043: (Error) Extension function error:
Method not found 'retTime'

Can anyone help me with this one?

That's a funny namespace name to choose for a JScript extension
function, but it isn't your problem.

xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt">

<msxml:script language="JScript" implements-prefix="js">
function retTime() {
var currentTime = new Date();
var month = currentTime.getMonth()+1;
var day = currentTime.getDate();
var year = currentTime.getFullYear();

var hour = currentTime.getHours();
var mins = currentTime.getMinutes();
var secs = currentTime.getSeconds();

return(year + "" + month + "" + day + "" + hour + "" + mins + "" +
secs)

You only need one "" (eg. "" + year + month ...) to force string
concatenation, but that isn't your problem.

}
</msxml:script>

<xsl:template match="/">
<DATETIME>
<xsl:value-of select="js:retTime()"/>
<xsl:text>***SOME_TEXT***</xsl:text>
</DATETIME>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I get the result

200822711420***SOME_TEXT***

using the stylesheet in an <?xml-stylesheet ...?processing instruction.

Can anyone help me with this one?

Since the script doesn't appear to be at fault, you would be better off
asking in microsoft.public.xsl or one of the MS forums.

Hmm...
Why does this not work when I process it. Could be my xsl processor,
anyone have an idea of a good xsl processor?

Extension functions and elements are not portable, the msxsl:script
element works with Microsoft's MSXML processor and with Microsoft's
XslTransform and XslCompiledTransform in .NET although supporting
different languages.

Which XSLT processor are you using?

Hi Martin

This processor was created by some developers in our company and I
think that you might be right.
I am relatively new to xsl so I don't know what processor to use.

Thanks for your help.

With that format, 2008111223344 has two interpretations; and it is by no
means unique. Consider 20081111111, which is worse. Read ISO 8601.
