You are NOT calling the javascript function from your xslt code - you
are using XSLT to GENERATE a call to a javascript function (presumably
you are generating html). This is a very different thing indeed.
  
    ohtar>  <select name="artistOnChange" onchange="example">
 
 
    ohtar>   I want to save the value of the javascript variable 'art'

You can't. XSLT finishes, and you are left with an html page, which
you are then displaying (presumably) in your web browser.
