That's right, you have to be carefull, when you write javascript in your
stylesheet.
Pay attention to extra spaces/carriage returns/tabs when formating the XSL
in your editor.
Smart editors indent XSL well, but they also mess things up when you work
with code...
I put all my javascript code in a <![CDATA[ ]]>, and it is outputed just the
way it looks in my stylesheet (see below).

I'm not really familiar with javascript, and I try to avoid complex things,
so my suggestions are:
1) you could use a basic HTML file to build the frameset, each frame
pointing to the appropriate HTML/XML file
2) if you really want to build the frameset from one XML file with
javascript, try to use CDATA sections like this (only the 'xsl:value-of' or
XSLT stuffs are "outside"):
<xsl:template match="foo:order">
<xsl:apply-templates select="common:form" />
<SCRIPT language='JavaScript'>
<![CDATA[function refreshTable()
{
var i;
var total = 0;
for (i=0; i<]]><xsl:value-of select="count(//foo:product)" /><![CDATA[;
i++) {
var q;
var p;
......
} ]]>
</SCRIPT>
</xsl:template>
Note: you don't have to use
<![CDATA[']]><![CDATA[+']]>
<![CDATA['+']]> is enough.
Same thing for <xsl:element name="br"/>, <br/> doas the same thing and it's
shorter

It's a browser issue; look at the HTML source of the page to see what
happens.
