Re: [xsl] javascript hyperlink ?

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Maybe Jeremy is asking for the frequently-requested Attribute Value 
Template (AVT).

Jeremy, that would be

<a href ="javascript:void(0)" onclick="jsFunction('{$parameter}')">...</a>

If your XSLT parameter is named "parameter". The curly braces tell 
the XSLT engine to process their content as an expression, instead of 
treating the whole thing as a literal.

So if $parameter had the value "ohboy" you'd get 
onclick="jsFunction('ohboy')" in your HTML output -- is that what you wanted?

If not, please clarify. As David implies, understanding the layering 
is the key to getting this. An XSLT transformation is a process that 
generates output that, here, will then be input to another process. 
The browser's execution of any script in the HTML result file is 
completely independent of the XSLT. This makes your job easy, since 
all you have to do in the XSLT is generate whatever HTML/Javascript 
will work -- which you can develop and test separately.

Cheers,
Wendell
