newbie question concerning javascript and xsl.

I have a "classic" xml xsl and javascript environment in which all of
the elements are on different files.
My index.html loads the xml and xsl succssfully and renders a table
which you can see below.

<xsl:for-each select="CHANNEL[SERVER = 'db2srv1']">
        <xsl:sort select="name"/>
        <tr>
        <xsl:if test="META = 'enterprise'">
          <td class="enterprise"
onclick="submit_channel(this.innerHTML)"><xsl:value-of
select="EXTENSION"/></td>
        </xsl:if>
        <xsl:if  test="META = 'community'">
          <td class="community"
onclick="submit_channel(this.innerHTML)"><xsl:value-of
select="EXTENSION"/></td>
        </xsl:if>
        </tr>
        </xsl:for-each>

I know that the this.innerHTML is wrong but I can't figure out how to
pass the EXTENSION parameter to the javascript.

The closest I got to was if I put submit_channel({.}) which I saw in
some sniplet.
I have been trying to read this until solution  but after 2 days of
googling and trying different approaches I'm consulting with the
pros...

any help will be appriciated.
Lior.
