Javascript in a XSLT

**kuhns_m** · July 25th, 2002, 11:31 AM

I am having a problem putting a javascript function in a XSLT.
Here is my XSLT, I simplified it for this example:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:lxslt="http://xml.apache.org/xslt"
xmlns:totalSys="TotalSystem"
extension-element-prefixes="totalSys">
<xsl

utput method="html" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes"/>

<lxslt:component prefix="totalSys" functions="toggle">
<lxslt:script lang="javascript">

function toggle() {
alert("hi");
}

</lxslt:script>
</lxslt:component>

<html>
<head>
<title>"Errors"</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onclick="totalSys:toggle()">
<xsl:text>hi</xsl:text>
</a>
</body>
</html>

When my sheet is generated, I click on my link and I get an error from my browser it says that an Object is expected.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Hi
You misused the semantic of this feature.
This feature concerns the usage of JS on the stage of transformation. (For sample in the XSLT expression)

In your case it is just html script.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output method="html" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes"/>
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
      <head>
        <title>"Errors"</title>
      </head>
      <script>
function toggle() {
alert("hi");
} 
    </script>
      <body>
        <a href="#" onclick="toggle()">
          <xsl:text>hi</xsl:text>
        </a>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
