Re: JavaScript and XSL Problems

Hi Puneet,

>>                       l++;

If you look at the JavaScript generated by this code, you'll see
something along the lines of:

  <script type="text/javascript">
    collectData(12, l, a lot of text...);
    l++;
    collectData(12, l, some more text...);
    l++
    collectData(12, l, yet more text...);
    l++;
    ...
  </script>

I suspect that the problem is that the third argument to your
collectData function, as you're generating it, hasn't got any quotes
around it. If you change those lines that generate the
"collectData(...)" call to:

  collectData(
    <xsl:value-of select="count(//sectiontitle)+count(//title)+count(//subtitle)"/>,
    l,
    "<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>");

So that double quotes are generated around the last argument, you
might have better luck.

By the way, are you sure that you want the first argument to be the
same for each call to the collectData() function?

Cheers,

Jeni
