XML inside Javascript

[rjonesX]

Here is the plan... my xml file is structured like this

[node]
[issue]
[number]1[/number]
[detail]some text[/detail]
[/issue]
[issue]
[number]2[/number]
[detail]some text[/detail]
[/issue]
[issue]
[number]3[/number]
[detail]some text[/detail]
[/issue]
[/node]


basically, im trying to get inside the javascript between the head tags of an xsl page to repeat this pattern

messages[0]=""

where the 0 becomes the "number" node and the "" is filled with the corresponding value of the detail node. This is all inside a javascript array. any ideas?

here is what i came up with ... but it is apparantly not working...

messages=new Array()
<xsl:for-each select=&quot;mckinney/site/issues&quot; order-by=&quot;number&quot;>
messages[
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;mckinney/site/issues/number&quot; />
]=&quot;
<xsl:value-of select=&quot;mckinney/site/issues/detail&quot; />
&quot;
</xsl:for-each>

and, does it matter that this is all in a CDATA section?

just wondering
