Answer 1

Although not standard, you can execute JavaScript functions from within your XSLT.

In MSXML, you can use the msxsl:script extension element .

 <?xml version='1.0'?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" xmlns:user="http://mycompany.com/mynamespace"> <msxsl:script language="JScript" implements-prefix="user"> function getUser() { return user; } </msxsl:script> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:value-of select="user:getUser(.)"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>

Refer to the following

• How to enable script client functions in an XSL document
• Passing parameters in javascript script in xslt
• String value not available in javascript
• Javascript call in XSL after conversion to RSS web part

Also be sure to add DEFER attrinute.

  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript" DEFER="true"> <xsl:comment> function hiLite() { alert("hello"); } </xsl:comment> </SCRIPT>
