[exslt] Corrections to the date.msxsl.xsl module

[Bruce Rindahl]

To everyone using the dates-times module in IE there is a bug in the
date:seconds module.

The old code is:

 

function seconds(){//

            if (arguments.length > 0){

                        var oDate;

                        if ((oDate = _validDate(arguments[0],
"xs:dateTime")) ||

                                    (oDate = _validDate(arguments[0],
"xs:date")) ||

                                    (oDate = _validDate(arguments[0],
"xs:gYearMonth")) ||

                                    (oDate = _validDate(arguments[0],
"xs:gYear"))

                                    )

                                    return oDate.valueOf()/1000;

                        else 

                                    if (oDate =
_validDuration(arguments[0]))

                                                return oDate.Seconds();

                                    else

                                                return Number.NaN;

            }else

                        return Math.floor(new
Date().valueOf()/1000);//current local date/time

}

 

The correct code should be:

 

function seconds(){//

            if (arguments.length > 0){

                        var oDate;

                        if ((oDate = _validDate(arguments[0],
"xs:dateTime")) ||

                                    (oDate = _validDate(arguments[0],
"xs:date")) ||

                                    (oDate = _validDate(arguments[0],
"xs:gYearMonth")) ||

                                    (oDate = _validDate(arguments[0],
"xs:gYear"))

                                    )

                                    return oDate.valueOf()/1000;

                        else 

                                    if (oDate =
_validDuration(arguments[0]))

                                                if
(arguments[0].charAt(0) != '-')

                                                            return
oDate.Seconds()/1000;

                                                else

                                                            return
oDate.Seconds()/(-1000);

 

                                    else

                                                return Number.NaN;

            }else

                        return Math.floor(new
Date().valueOf()/1000);//current local date/time

}

 

This corrects two bugs.  The first is the function returned the value in
milliseconds if you called it with a duration value.  The second is the
function always returned a positive value even with a negative duration.
Both of these are corrected with the code above.

 

Hope this helps!
