using cdata in html
I too claim no special expertise (hence some of my less-than-intelligent
questions)...but I'm using this xml document, transformed with xsl into an
html doc. My goal is not to have XSLT process it, but the html page process
it, so I need to get the "text" of the code into the html.

I have gone back to the html script element...the msxml:script was from code
I found in my search for a solution.

Thanks.

Kathy

Kathy,

I claim no special expertise in scripting, but don't you want to write your 
javascript out as a simple literal, for the client to execute, not have 
your XSLT processor execute?

So if you to pass your code for javascript:openWindow(), wrap it in an 
old-fashioned HTML <script> (literal result) element, not <msxsl:script>.

As for

>         <xsl:template match="link">
>           <a href="javascript:window.open{@url}">
>         <xsl:apply-templates/></a>
>         </xsl:template>

Wouldn't you want <a href="javascript:window.open({@url})"> ?

But I prefer Ken's method myself.

I hope that helps,
Wendell
