Hmmm... technically, this not true. But its implementation specific. Not all processors implement the <script> element, and those that do tend to do so using a custom namespace (e.g. msxml:script) Of course, from the other side of the technical coin, using script inside of an XSLT 1.0-based transformation no matter which implementation, or what scripting language is used is a recipe for disaster. There are an extensive number of ways to gain the same functionality that an embedded scripting language provides, using 100% XSLT 1.0 solutions. For those who want to be both blown away by what truly can be accomplished with a pure XSLT 1.0 solution, please visit http://fxsl.sourceforge.net Of course at http://EXSLT.org you will find some pretty nifty tools/extensions as well. And when it finally comes down to it, there is XSLT 2.0 and extension functions that will bring tears of joy to your eyes. My advice: grab a box of tissues{: I prefer the "Kleenex/Antibacterial/BlueBox" myself, but its certainly more of a preference than requirement :), a copy of the latest Saxon 8.x series processor [http://www.saxonica.com], and FXSL for XSLT 2.0, which is accessible from the same link listed above. Actually, maybe two boxes of tissues would be a smarter choice. In this case, I would go for the aformention Kleenex recommendatin... they come in packs of three and you can usually save a buck or two in the process. This, of course, will leave an extra box for whatever you might want to use it for. Smart. Really smart ;) XOXOXOXO What problem are you trying to solve?
