As far as I can tell from the lists, there is no way to get an XSL sheet to output valid javascript, the <>& chars are converted to &amp; etc...

e.g. if(this.field && this.field.value != null) becomes if(this.field &amp; &amp; this.field.value != null) which is invalid JScript.

However, I didn't get any exact matches on the list for this problem. So that the list contains a definitive and discoverable answer, can somebody confirm whether or not it is possible to get an XSL template to emit unescaped characters like "&".

Many thanks,

Ben
