How to add 0.001 second to a dateTime format value

[Zhu Di <fl...@gmail.com>]

hi,

I need some help on how to calculate dateTime format value

for example

<date>2006-06-06T12:00:12.123</date>

now I want to increast that value by 0.001 second.

I had try something like this


<xsl:value-of select="(preceding::date + 'PT0.001S')"/>

but it returns NaN. so what should I do?

Hi Zhu,

 

It is not as simple as you have anticipated ;-)

 

The contents of the <date> element is just a string. I assume from your code
snippet that you have some XSLT in which you want to manipulate the date for
use by the next stage of the Cocoon pipeline.

 

You would first need to convert the string into a java or javascript date
then add your 0.001 second to it. You would then convert the result into the
contents of an XML element.

 

However, If this number is coming from a database query or any other
generator or transform you might want to consider doing the arithmetic
there.
