Hi ,

I need to get current date and time in XSLT transformation.
The version of the XSLT is 1.0

i.e
<xsl:variable name="var_v2" select="function" />

I need the current date and time to be stored in variable

Thanks

There's no function to get the date and time in XSLT 1.0. The usual solution is to pass it to the stylesheet as a parameter. If that's not possible (e.g. in the browser) then you could get it from a RESTful web service using the document() function.
