RE: [xsl] Urgent - Assigning <xsl:variable> with javascript variable

["Aparna Konduri" <a_konduri@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I don't have data available in xml file, to assign to ID of <div>. It is to be generated from the javascript variable or random number, I have at run time. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ana

I tried to generate <div> tag dynamically with Javascript. 

id is a javascript variable.

document.write("<div ID="+ id +" style='visibility:visible;
                                display:block'">);
<a href="X"></a>
document.write("</div>");

When I try to access the div tag, the browser complains that such a tag doesn't exist.

Because the above approach is not working, I thought I would do

<xsl:variable name="name">id</xsl:variable>
<div style="visibility:visible;display:block">
<xsl:attribute name="ID">
<xsl:value-of select="@name" />
</xsl:attribute>
<a href="X"></a>
</div>

This also doesn't work. How to store a javascript variable in <xsl:variable>? 

Do you think there is any other way to do this? Please help.


Thanks,
Ana
