RE: Returning markups from -xsl:script-

["Joseph Alex" <alex_jos@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks for your help, your responses have been very useful in the past 
also. Of course, i can use <xsl:for-each> if all I need is the price 
information, this was the first step towards generating the entire table 
inside the <xsl:script> function, there will be several searches and 
loops, I just gave a simplified example to illustrate the point.

After sending the last mail, I came across a sentence from the MS XSL 
site (which was added two days back) that function inside <xsl:script> 
can not return mark ups. So currently it looks impossible. Is there any 
work arounds to this problem? 

Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex
