Does anyone know how to set the default value of a parameter to an attribute
value, like an id, from an element whose date attribute is the most recent
out of all similar date attributes?
For example, I have a group of elements with date attributes...
<div status="archive">
<section id="default">
<source volume="7">AIArchitect</source>
<date>
<month number="12">December</month>
<day>Sunday</day>
<year>2000</year>
</date>
and I need to find the most recent date of a group of elements like above,
and set its section id attribute value as the default value of a global
parameter. Is there any simple way to do this without resorting to
extension functions? I cant figure out how to go about getting the most
recent date...Any ideas?
Thanks
