Re: Date problem: StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when parsing

Hello Ronald,

How are u using EXSLT ... I recommend using a built in implementation
(e.g. Saxon, Xalan, and even Firefox Beta, Safari, and Opera are
starting to support some of exslt natively).

Otherwise, you will have to import one of the implementations (XSLT,
EXSLT function, or scripting)
