xml javascript characters

[silverfang]

I wanted to make a for-loop in an xsl stylesheet:
for(i=0;i<100;i++){
...
}
But then I get this : A name contained an invalid character ...

what can I do to help this?

Its the < that causes the problem. You can either put the whole thing in cdata tags:

<script>
<![CDATA[
   for(i=0;i<100;i++){
    ...
   }
]]>
</script>

Or, you can replace the < with &lt;

I knew the < caused the problem, so I tried to replace it with &lt;. I see you would recommend the same, but it doesn't work

I'm gonna try the other solution
thx

Post your full XML, changing it to &lt; will work. The problem must be elsewhere.

JontyMC is the guru of xml but .....

instead of:

for(i=0; i<100 ;i++){

I would use:

for(i=0; 100>i ;i++){

always solves the problem for me
