RE: [xsl] xhtml xslt file: populating javascript array with data from xml file?

["Dominic J. Blythe" <Dominic.Blythe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

this works fine in ie5 to get the answer attribute
into position [id attribute] in an array called questions.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet 
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";
  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40";
  result-ns="">

<output method="html" version="4.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"
media-type="text/html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
	<script><![CDATA[ questions = new Array(); ]]></script>
	<xsl:apply-templates select = "question"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="question">
	<script>questions[<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>]
		=<xsl:value-of select="@answer" />;</script>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I expect something similar is possible in any xslt interpreter.
