Unlocking the Mysteries of Data View Web Part XSL Tags – Part 19 – Miscellaneous – More Math / Number Functions

This entry is part 19 of 21 in the series Unlocking the Mysteries of Data View Web Part XSL Tags

Cross-posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… In the last article, I covered some of the XPath Math / Number functions; in this one, I’ll cover the rest.

Unlocking the Mysteries of Data View Web Part XSL Tags – Part 18 – Miscellaneous – Some Math / Number Functions

This entry is part 18 of 21 in the series Unlocking the Mysteries of Data View Web Part XSL Tags

Cross-posted from EndUserSharePoint.com… Another day, another wunnerful article about the DVWP.  This time, I’m going to cover some of the most useful “built-in” Field / Node functions.  These are functions that are a part of XSL itself and help you work with nodes in the result set.  A node is a geekier term for a…
