Call javascript function with parameter using XSLT

[beezleboss]

I'm having trouble getting my head around XSLT. I am creating an html table and filling it with the xml data using jascript.

i have it basically working but the next thing I want to do is call a javascript function and pass it one of the xml values as a parameter.

I'm trying it with a very simple class at the moment to see if I can get it to work; this is my code.

Function:

function loadMsg(mId)
{
alert(mId);
}

XSLT (snippet):

<tr class="msgListItem" onmouseover="style.backgroundColor='#ff0000';" 
onmouseout="style.backgroundColor='#ffffff';" 
onclick='loadMsg(<xsl:value-of select="mailid"/>);'>

I know everything works as expected when I do:

<tr class="msgListItem" onmouseover="style.backgroundColor='#ff0000';" 
onmouseout="style.backgroundColor='#ffffff';" 
onclick='loadMsg("some text");'>

anyone have any ideas?

thanks

Hi beezleboss,

I'm not an expert on this but shouldn't you put the XSL value in some kind of quotes? It looks to me like you're telling javascript that <xsl:value-of select="mailid"/> is a variable.

Just my passing comment ... hope it works out for you.
