Re: [xsl] javascript problem

Thanks to everyone for the responses. It appears the answer would be 
server-side (I use cocoon) or perhaps extensions (?).

OK, apologies if this was not an xslt issue. I thought the problem 
had to do with output encoding or something. But you and others say 
it won't execute simply because the written-out tag is in the 
document header. And then only because it is output from a preceding 
xslt transformation since placing the script in the head of a 
straight html doc works just fine.

I only have it here to illustrate that the same type of script works 
in a different part of the document. Of course, if I wanted an <hr> 
I'd simply insert it.

BTW: wrapping it as CDATA simply prints the link tag to the final display.
