Name

seconds( ) — normalizes a dayTimeDuration into a number of seconds

Synopsis

Defined in: XForms 1.0

This function computes a fractional number of seconds that is equivalent in length to the dayTimeDuration parameter (formatted according to XML Schema rules).

Note

Tip

This function makes the distinction of working on a dayTimeDuration, which is a more fine-grained datatype than defined by XML Schema. Chapter 4, XML Schema in XForms discusses this in greater detail.
