[Xsltforms-support] Date formatting

[Richard L. <ric...@gm...>]

Hi,

When I have a date value in a control, the calendar picker pops up and 
lets me select a date. However, this is in the format 'MM/dd/YYYY', i.e. 
American format. I've tried putting xml:lang="en" into various places, 
but this doesn't affect the outcome. Is there a special place to put 
xml:lang I have missed, or is this not how you control the format of 
selected dates?

As well as switching day and month, I would really like to output the 
dates that the user selects in the format we recommend to our users: 
'dd.mm.YYYY'. I've tried writing a <setvalue> command, but to no avail:

>             <action ev:event="xforms-ready">
>                   <setvalue 
> ref="ProcedureTemplate/Object/Movement/DateRequested" 
> value="concat(substring-before(substring-after(., '/'), '/'), '.', 
> substring-before(., '/'), '.', substring-after(substring-after(., 
> '/'), '/'))"/>
>                </action>
Is this approach doomed to failure, or have I just made a minor coding 
error?

Thanks,

Richard
