    How to compare dates

    I try to compare two dates and always get false.

     <xsl:variable name="now" select="Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes:datetime()" />

    <xsl:value-of select="string(data[@alias='contentDate'])" />
    return 2010-11-18T11:41:00

    <xsl:value-of select="string($now)" />
    return 2010-09-02T17:18:31

    <xsl:value-of select="string(data[@alias='contentDate']) &lt; string($now)" />
    return false

    <xsl:value-of select="string(data[@alias='contentDate']) > string($now)" />
    return false

    Why the last is false?

    Hi AlexR,

    Unfortunately you can't compare strings this way in XSLT - there's a couple of comparison functions available in the umbraco.library namespace, e.g.:

    <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:DateGreaterThanOrEqualToday(data[@alias = 'contaentDate'])" />
