Hi,

Was hoping someone could help me.
I have written some XSTL, that will run across multiple zime zones. Is there any way I can figure out (programatically) which time zone the transform is running in so I can offset the timestamp variable innthe output xml.
Any ideas would be really difficult . (Also needs to take into accoutr daylight saving hours)

XSLT 2.0 defines various methods, such as current-date() and implicit-timezone() that could certainly do what you are asking.

In XSLT 1.0 you can't get that information directly, so would either have to pass it in as a parameter, or use an extension function to call out to an external source (e..g java, .net etc).

THanks for that Sam......
I had figured that out.. but unfortunately, I need the time with respect to Sydney not London .. and the time difference between Sydney and London fluctuates between nine and elevewn hours ahead depending on what time of year....

Any ideas
