I want to compare file_date with another element or attribute, not a literal. If anyone knows a way to accomplish test statements without using literals, please let me know. I tried to use variables but my XSL processor must not support them (i.e they're always empty after assignment). I'm using the LotusXSL processor.
XML INSTANCE:
<file previous_date="03/13/99">
<file_date>04/03/99</file_date>
</file>
XSL STATEMENT (USING LITERAL):
<xsl:if test="file_date[not(. = '03/13/99')]">do something</xsl:if>
XSL STATEMENT (NOT USING A LITERAL)
<xsl:if test="file_date[not(. = @previous_date)]"> do something </xsl:if>
