A colleague helped me to solve it out (form validator and set focus on first
erroneous input text). So this means that the javascript is surrounded with
<xsl:text/> and that the hack here is to use a javascript variable that
exists once a field is incorrect. My text inputs have complicated names you
see... like AAA_BBB.

<!-- if error element -->
<error when="error">
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="../@Id"/>_<xsl:value-of
select="@Name"/></xsl:attribute>
<font color="red">
<xsl:value-of select="/page/errormessage">
</font>
</error>
<input type="text" size="{$textfieldsize}" value="{$defaultvalue}">
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="../@Id"/>_<xsl:value-of
select="@Name"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="id">
<xsl:value-of select="../@Id"/>_<xsl:value-of
select="@Name"/></xsl:attribute>
</input>
<!-- set focus on first incorrect field -->
<error when="error">
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="../@Id"/>_<xsl:value-of
select="@Name"/></xsl:attribute>
<!-- put here so the input is loaded first -->
<script language="javascript">
<xsl:text>if (error==null) document.form.</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="../@Id"/>
<xsl:text>_</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@Name"/>
<xsl:text>.focus();</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>var error=true;</xsl:text>
</script>
</error>
