RE: [xsl] Using Javascript with XSLT

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, when your Javascript code initiates a transformation, then it can pass
a parameter to the transformation, using a method such as addParameter() or
setParameter() (different products have different APIs). The parameter is
declared in the stylesheet using xsl:param.

However, the mistake people sometimes make here is to think that a single
transformation can both generate Javascript code and be affected by the
execution of that code. Remember the sequence of events: XSLT generates
HTML, the HTML is executed by the browser, execution of script in the HTML
can initiate another (separate) transformation, that second transformation
can generate more HTML, which in turn can be executed by the browser.
