Consider to put the JavaScript code into a .js file and then include that with <script type="text/javascript" src="file.js"></script>.
If you want to put the script code in the XSLT stylesheet then you need to escape it according to XML rules e.g. '<' for '<'.

Thank You

How would i create a js file.

do i insert the code in notepad with file extension .js ?

Use any text editor you like and save the JavaScript code with file extension '.js'.

My friend Thank You
I managed to get the js to execute.

Unfortunately my method to update a Sharepoint list using Web service
as not work.

I tried VBScript, Javascript - no luck

Thank You

Putting the code in a separate file is best practice but you could also split the declaration up:

Code:

var soapRequest = '<' + '?' + 'xmlversion="1.0"encoding="utf-8"?>' +

As to your subsequent problem that's a different one altogether. You'll need to start a new thread, possibly in the SharePoint forum, and give details of what you're attempting and what's happening.

it complains about
'<' + '?'
