Description

Function max() returns the maximum value of the result of converting the string-values of each node in the argument node-set to a number. "Maximum" is determined with the > operator. If the parameter is an empty node-set, or if any of the nodes evaluate to NaN, the return value is NaN.

   <xforms:output value="max(ex:value)">
      <xforms:label>Maximum : </xforms:label>
   </xforms:output>
