Problem using an External Javascript file (My FIRST question ... so I hope someone can help !)

[George Singer <gs...@lincoln.ac.uk>]

************************************************************************************
Problem using an External Javascript file in an XSL stylesheet (My FIRST question ... hope someone can help !)
************************************************************************************
 
The xsl fragment below, shows a simple bit of inline javascript, which works fine (when commenting tags are removed ). 
 
HOWEVER, when I try to put the inline stuff inside an external  file (add.js in this case), the file is ignored.
 
I've searched around, some people suggest adding a space using:
 
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="add.js">&#160;</script>
 
Others suggest defining an entity (with <!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;">]>  using &nbsp; in place of &#160;)
 
Others suggest replacing the &#160; with <xsl:comment>no inline script</xsl:comment>

 
I've tried all these, with no success.
 
Hopefully this problem will get a solution

What does that mean? Is "add.js" supplied by Cocoon and can you display 
it in your browser?

If not, are you using a reader for supplying "add.js" like

     <map:match pattern="**.js">
         <map:read mime-type="text/javascript src="{1}.js"/>
     </map:match>

Why?

Why don't you use tabindex attribute?
