Javascript in XSLT Problem.

beefeater267 · Jun 8, 2005

Hi,

I have an XSLT where i am generating some JS statements. However, am having problems b/c of the quotes.

Can anyone help. For example, I have:

<SCRIPT>
var ifr = document.frames('IF<xsl:value-of select="TITLE" />');

ifr.document.write("<BODY BORDER=\'0\'>")
ifr.document.write('</BODY>')
ifr.document.close()
</SCRIPT>

The error occurs on the "<BODY>" line.

how can i perform this type of syntax?

Are you sure it's not the < and >

replace all < with <
and all > with >

As far as the Body goes... you don't need escapes for ' if your string is enclosed with "
...
ifr.document.write("<BODY BORDER='0'>")

try this:

Code:

<SCRIPT>
var ifr = document.frames('IF&lt;xsl:value-of select="TITLE" /&gt;'); 

ifr.document.write("&lt;BODY BORDER='0'&gt;")
ifr.document.write('&lt;/BODY&gt;')
ifr.document.close()            
</SCRIPT>

still get JS errors when I try your code. Any other suggestions?

I tried:

<SCRIPT>
var ifr = document.frames('IF<xsl:value-of select="TITLE" />');
ifr.document.write("<BODY bgcolor='red'>")
ifr.document.write('</BODY>')
ifr.document.close()
</SCRIPT>

However, the <BODY> tags are not rendered, but rather put as text in my IFRAME.

PLEASE HELP!

And this is inside an XSLT?

any case... did you try just:

Code:

<SCRIPT>
var ifr = document.frames('IF<xsl:value-of select="TITLE" />'); 
ifr.document.write("<BODY BORDER='0'>")
ifr.document.write('</BODY>')
ifr.document.close()                
</SCRIPT>

Or...

Code:

<SCRIPT>
[COLOR=red]<![CDATA[[/color]
var ifr = document.frames('IF<xsl:value-of select="TITLE" />'); 
ifr.document.write("<BODY BORDER='0'>")
ifr.document.write('</BODY>')
ifr.document.close()
[COLOR=red]]]>[/color]
</SCRIPT>

Ohhhh... and you might also need the ;'s at the end of every line...

Code:

<SCRIPT>
<![CDATA[
var ifr = document.frames('IF<xsl:value-of select="TITLE" />'); 
ifr.document.write("<BODY BORDER='0'>")[COLOR=red];[/color]
ifr.document.write('</BODY>')[COLOR=red];[/color]
ifr.document.close()[COLOR=red];[/color]
]]>
</SCRIPT>

i will try your CDATA example. what exactly does that syntax mean ([CDATA])?

I'm new to XML

in XML files, anything between...
<![CDATA[
and
]]>
is not parsed as XML...

*note the direction of the brackets...
It is <![CDATA[ ... ]]> and not [CDATA]
