RE: xsl variable not resolved in javascript output

Also you need to use an element to get the value:

<![CDATA[
  function showbook() {
  var showframeURL = ']]><xsl:value-of
select="$__Frameset_File_Name_token"/><![CDATA[...

It looks like your variable is within a CDATA section. Perhaps, you
migth try breaking up the CDATA section around the variable.

<![CDATA[
  function showbook() {
  var showframeURL = ']]>$__Frameset_File_Name_token<![CDATA[...

Subject:  xsl variable not resolved in javascript output

Hello list,

an xsl template outputs javascript code to display frames in the
resulting html. I am trying to use an xsl variable in the javascript
code to refer to the url to display with frames, but can't get the
correct syntax so that the xsl variable is resolved to a file name. Is
there a way to do this? I'm using xalan 2.6.0.

The code snippet of the xsl is shown below.

This is the xsl:variable definition:

<xsl:variable name="__Frameset_File_Name_token">index.htm</xsl:variable>

I have tried the following syntax to specify the xsl variable in the
outputted javascript but the xsl variable is not resolved:

xsl code: "{$__Frameset_File_Name_token}" + "?" + document.URL;
result in html: {$__Frameset_File_Name_token

xsl code: "$__Frameset_File_Name_token" + "?" + document.URL;
result in html: $__Frameset_File_Name_token?

xsl code: $__Frameset_File_Name_token + "?" + document.URL;
result in html:no show/hide links

xsl code: "'$__Frameset_File_Name_token'" + "?" + document.URL; =20
result in html: null filename. the link resolved to the containing
directory

xsl code: '$__Frameset_File_Name_token' + "?" + document.URL; =20
result in html:$__Frameset_File_Name_token

Thanks for your help,


Ann Marie
