Don't quote me on this, but the alert() function isn't part of JScript
itself, it is part of the IE DOM. It doesn't exist in the context that the
JScript engine is running, so you get a script error.

Hi guys, 

You sorted out my problem last time so I thought I'd try you again :-)

Can anyone tell me if there are any issues around using the <eval> tag in 
IE5.

The reason I ask is that I've tried this:

<xsl:eval>
        alert("Hello World");
</xsl:eval>

Not a hugely earth shattering bit of code I grant you, but I think it 
should work nontheless :-)

here is the result:

Microsoft JScript runtime error Object expected line = 1, col = 0 (line is 
offset from the tag). Error returned from property or method call. 


Any ideas?

John
