Javascript : from xsl to xml

xsl to xml
Hi !

I am working on my first XML/XSL project : an encyclopedia for my students.

I have finally learned to use Javascript in my xsl page, linking the script to a button which is placed in my xsl page (within the Body tags).

Now, I need something more. I am asking here, after going through alot of previous messages of this list (which were indeed very helpfull up to now).

1. Given this XML element :
<ROOT>
        <SEE_PICTURE>
                <IMAGE href="../gifjpg/a/abydos01.jpg"></IMAGE>
        </SEE_PICTURE>
</ROOT>

2. I have this Javascritp in my xsl :

<script language="JavaScript">
<![CDATA[function image(){
        window.open('  NOT YET DEFINED ');
}
]]>
</script>

3. THEN, given This part in the BODY of my xsl :

<TR>
<xsl:apply-templates select="ROOT/SEE_PICTURE"/>
</TR>

4. And finally this in the transformation section on my xsl :

<xsl:template match="SEE_PICTURE">
        <TR><xsl:apply-templates /></TR>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="IMAGE">
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="@href"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<button
name="image"
STYLE="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #CECEA5;cursor:hand;width:50;height:25;text-align:absmiddle;"
onClick="image()"><img src="../../../a_icones/oeil2.jpg" width="50" height="25"/>
</button>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</a>
</xsl:template>



When I pass the cursor over the button, in IE5, I can see that it's calling the proper image from the xml element. When I click, a window opens, but naturally without the image.


I would like to know how to make the method "WINDOW.OPEN" work with a variable that would get the information which is stored in the IMAGE element of my xml, so putting the image in the opening window. I will have 340 different xml pages, one for each expression of the encyclopedia.

I do hope that I was clear enough. BTW, my approach might as well be totally... incorrect....

Thanks for your attention and help.
