HTML and javascript in XSL style sheet
I produce a HTML output from an XSL stylesheet, and the format I write the
stylesheet is to have normal html, with the XSL tags handling items such
as table rows for the XML data, in between.
eg.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p> My Table </p>
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="data">
<tr><td><xsl:value-of select="Name"/></td></tr>
</xsl:foreach>
</table>
</body>
</html>
I have written a form in a similar way, and have a bit of javascript at the
bottom, but am annoyed by the syntax being incorrect for things like '&'
and '<'. One solution is to use
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&</xsl:text>
but this is really annoying when I have javascript expressions generated
for each table data like :
<xsl:for-each select="data">
if
(
(field1 != "<xsl:value-of select="Name"/>" <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&&</xsl:text>
field2=="")
||
(field3 < "10" <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&&</xsl:text>
field4 >"100")
)
</xsl:for-each>
because everytime there is an '&' or '<', I have to use the above escape
tag, ending up with a lot of unreadable source.
Is there a better way to do this ?
Thanks,
Eric
