Contents of a <div> into an AVT?

Hello. I'm sure I'll phrase this incorrectly..but here goes.

building html table, my xsl contains:

<xsl:variable name="id">
      <xsl:number level="multiple" count="step" format="1.1">
</xsl:variable>

<div id="Step_{$id}">
<xsl:value-of select="$id"/>
</div>

This results as desired:

<div id="Step_2.1 ">2.1  </div>


My question is: how to get either the div id ("Step_2.1") or div contents
("2.1") into a script parameter?

In my html, I have onclick="Javascript:newWin('here is where i need the
above', '{para}')"

The {para} give me the content of the <step> correctly. 

I though {id} would work, but it remains blank.

Any clues?

Thanks.

Kat
