Set XSL value inside JavaScript

RRANJAN · January 31st, 2012, 10:19 AM

Hello Everyone,

I have one <a> link and I am calling one Javascript method "toggleMe" on onclick even. This Javascript methods takes 2 parameters. I want to set XSL value in these parameter. It throws error in XSLT file if I try.

I am using below link in <xsl:for-each select="report/script">

<a onclick='return toggleMe(<xsl:value-of select="bcname"/>,"UserName")'>

Please let me know, how I can do this action.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Rajeev

You can't embed XSLT inside an attribute like that, but you can use the xsl:attribute instruction.

Code:

<a>
<xsl:attribute name="onclick">return toggleMe('<xsl:value-of select="bcname"/>', 'UserName')</xsl:attribute>
</a>

Use an attribute value template e.g.

Code:

<a onclick="return toogleMe({bcname}, 'UserName');">...</a>

to meet XSLT syntax requirements.
To meet Javascript syntax requirements, you might need

Code:

<a onclick="return toogleMe('{bcname}', 'UserName');">...</a>

depending on the type of value you want to pass in (i.e. a string).
