RE: [xsl] How do I convert the use of onclick in HTML to work in XSLT?

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's no way onClick can "work in XSLT". XSLT performs a transformation on
an XML document to produce your HTML page. The HTML page can contain
anything - XSLT doesn't care, it's just data. Then the browser starts
displaying the HTML, and at this stage things like onClick can happen; but
by this time the XSLT transformer has finished its work and gone home to
bed.
