I'm creating a client/server application, where the xml is
created on the server as well as the transformation. However, I
would like the user inteface scripts to take place on the
client side. So, the reason for trying to place a javascript
variable inside an xsl:variable, it would give me the ability
to create generic functions which would work as dynamically as
possible. Also, I've got some restictions: the xml file is
created in memory and is not saved to a file, so I don't know
of a way to use the DOM in Javascipt.
Dion, I don't believe your style recomendation would work
since <xsl:variable name="varID">strID</xsl:variable> would be
placed infront the function test, where strID is passed in.
I need the value from strID inorder to do some xml checks.
In my xml I'm passing in an onclick attribute the name of the
function "test(this)", when the html is created via
tranformation. this onclick event is represented in an radio
button. If the user choses this radio button then I need to
disable some other checkboxs, which only exist in the html.
I hope I haven't confused everybody to badly.
So, my objective is to have an xml document in memeory that I
can build an html page via xsl transformation. Then when the
users cause an event to be executed, I want to be able to read
xml and perform necessary changes to html.
