Passing global javascript variables into xml

[benushroff]

Here is what I want to do.

I have a global variable defined in my xsl.

<script>
var colOrder = 0;
</script>


I have a template which takes a parameter ColToSort. That param needs to be passed back to a javascript function.

The javascript function presortTable changes the value of colOrder. However whenever I alert the value of colOrder, it always is 0.

I am expecting the value of global variable colOrder to change whenever we call template x.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.


<xsl:call-template name="x">
<xsl:with-param name="ColToSort" select="'ColOrder'"/>
</xsl:call-template>

<xsl:template name="x">
<xslaram name="ColToSort" />
javascript:resorttable(0,$ColToSort);
</xsl:call-template>

--JAVASCRIPT function----

function presortTable(col, colSort){
alert(colSort);
colSort = 5;
}
