How to passed an xsl parameter to a javascript fun

Hi:

I am having problem passing an xsl param variable as a parameter to a javascript function inside an
xsl styelsheet.

Here is my xsl stylesheet.

Quote:

quote:
<xsl:param name="numberOfRecordsFromDatabase" select="search-result/rec-num" />
<xsl:template name="Body">
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"
onLoad="cloneHeader();window.parent.shrinkIFrame(< xsl:value-of select='$numberOfRecordsFromDatabase'/>);"
onresize="cloneHeaderResize();window.parent.shrink IFrame(<xsl:value-of select='$numberOfRecordsFromDatabase'/>);">
</body>
</xsl:template>

I am trying to pass a variable called numberOfRecordsFromDatabase to
a javascript function called window.parent.shrinkIFrame(<xsl:value-of select='$numberOfRecordsFromDatabase'/>).

Is this possible?
If not, is there a way to do this.
Any hint would be greatly appreciated.

Yours,

Frustrated.

Firstly, don't think of your XSLT code as calling the Javascript or passing parameters to it. That's not what's happening. The XSLT code is generating an HTML page and the HTML page happens to have some Javascript in it. As far as the XSLT code is concerned, you're just outputting HTML text.

A stylesheet has to be well-formed XML, so you can't write

<elem attr="abc<xsl:value-of select="x"/>xyz"/>

Instead, you write

<elem attr="abc{x}xyz"/>

It's called an attribute value template.
