You probably mean <xsl:output method="xml"> ?

Example:

<input type="checkbox" name="foo" onclick="function(getAttribute('name'))">

becomes
<input type="checkbox" name="foo"
onclick="function(getAttribute(&apos;name&apos;))">

Which xslt processor are you using ? This example evaluate to <input type="checkbox" name="foo" onclick="function(getAttribute('name'))"/> to me in msxml and saxon. XML output method must output well-formed xml and this combination of " and ' is well-formed. I think you meant more complex case where you have to intermingle " and ' in attribute's value, like onclick="func('data with "bla"')", which is not well-formed xml and have to be escaped. Or try a better solution - move all javascript code to one place (CDATA section) or to external js file to get free from well-formedness constraints in javascript code.

Similarly <script>var varname ="name" </script> is not possible.

But why ? It's well-formed xml. The only problem will arise if you try to use < and & in text, they must be escaped. Or use comments:

<script>
	<xsl:comment>
		<![CDATA[if  a <= "d" bla()]]>
	</xsl:comment>
</script>
