The problem is the use of <xsl:template match="script"> and how XSLT
processors treat it; the output node tree will be converted from its
native form to whatever output you specify, and if that's XHTML 1.0
a) They will only do that (unless something strange is happening) if
if you have specified script as a cdata-section-element in your
xsl:stylesheet attributes.
b) they won't do that at all and they will generate exactly what you
said you wanted if they support disable-output-escaping and you use the
construct that I showed
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[
//<![CDATA[
..... stuff here ...
//]]>]]>
</xsl:text>
If you do this you are not generating a script element in the output
tree, just some text that looks like a script element and so the
system will not mess with it at all, did you try this?
No, but XSLT processors still throw it in if needed or not.
see above (or below)
David
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[
<script>
//<![CDATA[
..... stuff here with < and & and && and stuff
//]]>]]>
</script>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
running the above (on itself, just as an example)
$ saxon doe.xsl doe.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<script>
//<![CDATA[
..... stuff here with < and & and && and stuff
//]]>
</script>
which is a script element with CDATA and javascript comment markup as
you wanted, produced by an XSLT1 processor.
