Hi,

I'm having a problem with dynamically generating javascript code through XSLT in IE6. I'm getting the XML using XMLHttpRequest and using the Sarissa library to transform the XML. The resulting XML contains many script tags. But, IE doesnt seem to execute any javascript code in these, although normal HTML is generated fine. The thing works fine in Firefox.

What could be the problem?

Browser: IE6 on Windows 2000

The XSL file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<script type="text/javascript">
    alert('hello world');
</script>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

(The above XSL never ever shows the alert)

Thanks

The observations and solution to the above problem are:
After calling

domFragment=xsltProcessor.transformToFragment(xmlD ata,document)

the resulting dom fragment was inserted (appendChild()) into a 'span' node in the document. But, IE did not insert the <script> nodes. Instead, it made an array of all the script nodes in domFragment.scripts.

Hence, all the elements of domFragment.scripts also had to be inserted after domFragment was inserted. This solved the problem. The same thing was observed even in IE7
