Hi all
My web pages are "pure" xml (meaning no HTML or XHTML is used) which is
styled on the client using CSS. To add interactivity, I use Javascript. I
transform a source XML file with XSLT before it's sent to the browser. The
problem is that, when I use <xsl:output method="text/xml">, entities like '
and " are escaped (eg. ') after I transformed the source file with XSLT
to the right format for the browser. But Javascript jokes at this point,
because it is exspecting the proper character '.
Example:
<input type="checkbox" name="foo" onclick="function(getAttribute('name'))">
becomes
<input type="checkbox" name="foo"
onclick="function(getAttribute('name'))">
Similarly <script>var varname ="name" </script> is not possible.
I tried <xsl:output cdata-section-element="script"> without success. I get
<script> <![CDATA[[var varname ="name"]]></script>, which is again not
understood by Javascript.
I’m aware of possible solutions like using either <?cocoon-format
type="text/xhtml"> or <xsl:output method="html"> which solve my
entitiy-escaping problem, but I have to use XHTML then.
I’m wondering if Mozilla and IE5+ can handle pure XML, why should I use
XHTML instead. Shouldn't it be possible to use a pure XML publishing model
and still be able to use Javascript on the browser.
Did anyone solve this problem already?
Thanx in advance
