Using JavaScript to access <xml:list> items

I've been looking around XML/XSL for a while now, but have done very
little with it - so hopefully this will be trivial... I am interested in
setting up a schema making much use of <xml:list> nodes, but am
encountering problems accessing this data using xslt. I am interested in
xml to xml transformations on windows clients - using microsoft tools
... Can someone please point me in the direction of information and
examples on using/manipulating lists, as I suspect it is basic concept
information I'm missing!!!!

My current specific problem is (I think) a syntax thing.
I have an XML file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="ScriptTestQuest.xsl"?> <Root>
<Lists> <List>1 3 4</List> <List>1 4 5</List> <List>5 3 1</List>
</Lists> </Root>

Which I am trying to transform with the xslt file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl" > <xsl:script
language="javascript"> <![CDATA[ function car (e) {
   var strs = e.text.split(" ");
   return parseInt(strs[0]);
}

function contains(list, testValue)
{
  var strs = list.text.split(" ");
  var elemCount = 0;
  while(elemCount <= (strs.length -1)){
    if(parseInt(testValue) == parseInt(strs[elemCount]))
      return "Match";
    elemCount = elemCount + 1;
  }

  return "No Match";
}

function bContains(list, testValue)
{
  var strs = list.text.split(" ");
  var elemCount = 0;
  while(elemCount <= (strs.length -1)){
    if(parseInt(testValue) == parseInt(strs[elemCount]))
      return 1;
    elemCount = elemCount + 1;
  }

  return 0;
}

function cdr (e)
{
   var strs = e.text.split(" ");
   var returnVal = " ";
   var elemCount = 2;
   
   if(strs.length > 1)
     returnVal = strs[1]
   else
     return "";
   while(elemCount <= (strs.length -1)){
     returnVal = returnVal + " " + strs[elemCount]
     elemCount = elemCount + 1;
   }
   return returnVal;
}
]]>
</xsl:script>

<xsl:template match="List">
<xsl:eval>contains(this, 3)</xsl:eval> <xsl:eval>bContains(this,
3)</xsl:eval>
<!--  This is the bit that confuses me-->
<xsl:if test="bContains(this, 3)">
<BR/>
Match!!!
<BR/>
</xsl:if>

<BR/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/">

Now The Lists (Init)
<BR/>

<xsl:apply-templates select = "Root/Lists/List"/> </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


The line :
<xsl:if test="bContains(this, 3)">
Is causing my problem.  Could someone please explain the syntax I should
use for this?

Thanks!!!
