Date Filtering with XML data

Question

I'm displaying events in a spry :repeat region with my source
being XML.
The date is set in the XML like:
<event>
<name>EventName</name>
<desc>Christmas Eve</desc>
<stopdate>12/25/2007</stopdate>
</event>
How would I hide this event after its given <stopdate>
value?

Answer 1

<script>
function getCurrentDate(){
objToday = new Date();
year = objToday.getFullYear();
month = objToday.getMonth() + 1;
if ( month < 10 )
month = "0" + month;
day = objToday.getDate();
if ( day < 10 )
day = "0" + day;
strToday = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;
return strToday;
</script>
And maby use
<tr spry repeat>
<td spry:if="{stopdate} >
getCurrentDate()">{stopdate}</td>
</tr>
Something like that would do.
If not maby set the row to date EXAMPLE:
var ds1 = new
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("myxml.xml","races/standings");
// Example of setting the type of one column:
ds1.setColumnType("start", "date");
I think that is what u want.
It checks if the {stopdate} greater than the current date..
if it true, it will show the date. else it wont... ofcourse u can
change the operator of the spry if ;)
