I am trying to generate some Javascript with an XSLT stylesheet. I have to generate it with the stylesheet and put it in the document because the values that go into the Javascript function calls come from the data in the XML file itself. I am also putting HTML into the function calls, so this means that I must use ' to quote the strings (otherwise the " around the attributes in the HTML tags would confuse the Javascript parser). However, some of the data I am pulling from the XML files has apostrophes in it already, and I need to be able to include those in the final output. However, Cocoon insists on changing ' into '. This also confuses the Javascript parser. The apostrophes in the XML are entities (') so it would be ideal if I could tell Cocoon to stop turning them into '. I can't change the XML files so that they all say &apos; (nor would I want to, yuck!), so what am I supposed to do? It doesn't seem like disable-output-escaping would be "bad programming practice" in this instance. Maybe I'm rushing to judgment here, but it seems that it was a poor design decision to *disable* something you think a "bad programming practice." After all, goto's in C still compile and work, but no C programmer worth her salt would *ever* use one, and that's because over the years we have more or less proven you can do anything w/o goto's that you can do with them, only better. If someone knows a way I can do this with the functionality already in Cocoon, I'll recant... :-) -- Wes Morgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian: apt-get into it. -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org mQGiBDrckPYRBACX731+mhYmj3oFUCGclJFn3YfM3FCmuLoPxGCy5QtRzHZY4XtM gQ54gSLkTNafhpLC0S+/BfYVpsumLrkif2AGTg0Dnuww0/xDSLKdWhFZUhcopRy5 xXBnz1PZQCJnCjDcSHl4RaVoywmKcZ3TfaDNnu1/RLtlr9tx5XNbWBnw3wCgntC+ lbCBz+LidCrRrEC2N/PlYpMD/0Icn7Uex7jRYcDx2R78cFKDpUGHMtx7VCzGyQbC L3kz94mm1/aXt0ELqbq5k8qKPq80kXhJkx7jwSqn0V6XO9GAk85Dkk3GHm/iCli6 KhSzC4m485ZKvPKnEU3Nue9hgvC08YSjrfvXosEZsm5kwcniHphugbviW0C+AdmA BWEoA/9qoxeIntesKq1MsUAXTgDCkT1BCBGn9YoxWhbiyz5iLPn4nTq2hwR1xqhQ xztHYJkmSlBHeUIhAicPsk3U8gd9L5S3FEWrelm+1GRBhy1/HRBam33ypgg9U5i6 IDST1hqExj3WPG68pJsRl6TwKkrUGNIXi8/yl2ximBOYooFx7rQrV2VzIE1vcmdh biAoQmFzc0hvbWJyZSkgPHdlc21Ac2xhY2tuZXQub3JnPohXBBMRAgAXBQI63JD2 BQsHCgMEAxUDAgMWAgECF4AACgkQVHVnnbHtaCXu9wCfQBJ5Vsep8waEZEP7cT5/ el7CIF4AoI3dZamvLWsMK7YPdatRNObsf6/guQENBDrckPoQBADZpcFo6MyA0rhP q43mNdpfMJm4JnmD5kMnRSli/HDdLk2Epa3EY1wgMB6NovLr8fV/2cp/5KdXg8j/ V780qOZhpQpTL8AXvIw9yMAIwwpARpFl//VVK+3l1+IgzHRWiQC7SWhTsqIk4ppP kRafwefx8r3KYFxljAmlV2zKNSiQrwADBQP+KDV3Lh/k3IHORiX1FV5fZALbJi+X TTs+onMndtZyhIPpZ6Z6AMygdXa2WQy2U24tkvmMQdMuIOTCZiCuXsbnBw5FwwvL tfSloF1R6xfvme8yATDZXJnPFUW5jFwwMto3Hnoh95MqJLfXTpu1FrBXVE4YVSJa eA1FuaQJnnllGu+IRgQYEQIABgUCOtyQ+gAKCRBUdWedse1oJbQIAJ9uDRktfJHP 5veOAfncvrX99hnHKQCgmdySczcSbc9/YxTAJ+GfA1/OOtU= =PCOv -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
