I have a javascript inside the XSL style sheet. In the javascript, i have a function, getName(node). How do i call this in my xsl? I had used xsl:eval=getname(this) earlier. It worked till IE8. Hasnt worked from IE9 onwards. Can i use xsl:value-of-select? or any other tips to make it work ? Thank you in advance.

This is the javascript present in the xsl:script block. The call to this function is below.

I strongly suspect you are using the old 1998 Microsoft dialect of XSL which was superseded when the W3C standard came out in 1999. Check the namespace on the xsl:stylesheet element - if it ends in WD-xsl, that means "working draft XSL", and you're on he old version. (I haven't seen this for a long while; I even threw away my Wrox book on WD-xsl a couple of years ago because I thought I would never see it again. It's almost impossible to get hold of a spec nowadays, and there are significant differences from the W3C spec.)

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" version="1.0">

This is what i am using.

OK, then it's not WD-xsl. In that case I don't know what the xsl:eval was about. Also the xsl:script: it should be msxsl:script in the Microsoft namespace.

Note that in W3C XSLT you can write this kind of stuff:

much more concisely as

you are telling me to change this <SCRIPT language='JavaScript'><xsl:comment><![CDATA[
TO
<msxml :script text = "javascript">
?
and should the CDATA be present?

No, it was the xsl:script I was concerned about. But I'm afraid I'm out of my depth now - haven't used client-side XSLT on Internet Explorer for many years. I hope I've pointed you in the right direction.

There aren't many people using this forum these days - you may have better luck on StackOverflow.
