I'm using the MSXML2 processor form with an ASP script, trying to
transform a source xml document to xhtml.
The problem is that my source document contains elements with attributes whose values are numeric. Sometimes these values are expressed in a format such as "4.364976000000000e+002". The xsl processor doesn't recognise these as numbers, and so format-number() or any function that requires a number as input simply returns NaN. I've tried using the number() function to convert to a number, but this has been unsuccessful. I'd be extremely grateful if anyone could a) suggest a method to get these numbers recognised as numbers, or b) suggest the correct mathematical term for these 'e+..' numbers so I can search more effectively! I always [expletive deleted] at mathematics :) many thanks, drew.
