The purpose of using the CDATA section in the stylesheet is to make life easier for you so that you don't have to escape all those <s and &s and so on. The CDATA section in your stylesheet is simply marking out bits of the information within the stylesheet that shouldn't be parsed as XML; using a CDATA section in your stylesheet doesn't create a CDATA section in your output. So, to insert some stuff that *should* be interpreted as XML (like <xsl:value-of select="$user" /> to insert the name of the user), you just need to close the CDATA section, put in the element, and then open the CDATA section again: <xsl:template match="/"> ... <xsl:variable name="user" select="Login/UserInfo/UserName"/> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> <![CDATA[ ... rowA = new Object() rowA.data1 = ']]><xsl:value-of select="$user" /><![CDATA[' rowA.data2 = 'needs' rowA.data3 = 'help' myTable.append_row(rowA) ... ]]> </SCRIPT> ... </xsl:template> If there's very little escaping that you would have to do anyway, and lots of information to be inserted into the script (which looks to be the case from your example), then it might be simpler to get rid of the CDATA section altogether: <xsl:template match="/"> ... <xsl:variable name="user" select="Login/UserInfo/UserName"/> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> ... rowA = new Object() rowA.data1 = '<xsl:value-of select="$user" />' rowA.data2 = 'needs' rowA.data3 = 'help' myTable.append_row(rowA) ... </SCRIPT> ... </xsl:template> I hope this helps, Jeni Dr Jeni Tennison Epistemics Ltd * Strelley Hall * Nottingham * NG8 6PE tel: 0115 906 1301 * fax: 0115 906 1304 * email: jeni.tennison@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
