you start (by PI) a xsl transformation client-side and get some html.
This takes place _before_ any javascript is processed! Now I would
like you to specify the output (in html code) you want to have using
your sample input, including any javascript invocation (the prototype
html, see below)!

your javascript working: you want a parameter to be passed to a
javascript function? this parameter should be the value of an
id-attribute for one of the html elements?
This means in the first step you have a prototype html page and can
actually test whether the javascript is doing what you want it to do.
Only _after_ this you take the second step and ask how to generate
such a html from your xml input.
Testing your xsl should _not_ be done using the browser, its a pain.
Do you a favor and use Saxon 6 for example.

Hope this helps,
