RE: href problem...using CDATA needed?

I too claim no special expertise (hence some of my less-than-intelligent
questions)...but I'm using this xml document, transformed with xsl into an
html doc. My goal is not to have XSLT process it, but the html page process
it, so I need to get the "text" of the code into the html.

I have gone back to the html script element...the msxml:script was from code
I found in my search for a solution.

Thanks.

Kathy

Kathy,

I claim no special expertise in scripting, but don't you want to write your 
javascript out as a simple literal, for the client to execute, not have 
your XSLT processor execute?

So if you to pass your code for javascript:openWindow(), wrap it in an 
old-fashioned HTML <script> (literal result) element, not <msxsl:script>.

As for

        <xsl:template match="link">
          <a href="javascript:window(_dot_)open{(_at_)url}">
        <xsl:apply-templates/></a>
        </xsl:template>


Wouldn't you want <a href="javascript:window.open({(_at_)url})"> ?

But I prefer Ken's method myself.

I hope that helps,
Wendell

Hi, in addition to my recent question, I've also tried using a javascript
within CDATA.

                        <head>
                          <msxsl:script language="javascript"
implements-prefix="kb"><![CDATA[

                                function openWindow()
                          {
                          window.open(), 'Link Window', 'toolbar=1,
menubar=1 resizable=1, dependent=0, status=0
                                        width=400, height=300, left=25,
top=25')
                                }
                          ]]>
                          </msxsl:script>
                        </head?

then used this template:

        <xsl:template match="link">
          <a href="javascript:openWindow({(_at_)url})">
        <xsl:apply-templates/></a>
        </xsl:template>

with no success.

I'm not asking a javascript question...I'm asking how I can correctly refer
to the {(_at_)url} within my href.
