Embed javascript in xsl: > problem

Bonjour,

I'm trying to embed some javascript in 
${mypub}/lenya/xslt/authoring/create.xsl
There is already some script, which works fine, but now I would like to 
limit the length of the textareas.

This is my try:

function validLength(formField,fieldLabel, maxLength) {
  if (formField.value.length > 3) {
        alert('ohoh!');
    formField.focus();
    return false;
  }
  return true;
}

My problem is that the > sign gets mixed-up as it passes through the 
numerous xsl's (at least 4 of them)

So far, I have 2 solutions, but they don't satisfy me:

1) <TEXTAREA onkeyup="this.value = this.value.slice(0, 20)"></TEXTAREA>

2) externalize the javascript in a .js file and put it under /ressources

Anybody faced this already and has a solution?

Thanks,
Renaud

I forgot to say that I tried that. You are right: the XSLT processor 
outputs it as entity. Unfortunately, the javascript doesn't work.

Yes, that's what I might end up with, but a quickier solution would be 
nice ;-)

Thanks,
Renaud

If the source XML has the character in the form of an entity (&gt;) 
there should be no problem as that is exactly how the XSLTProcessor 
outputs it (if the output method is XML)

On the other hand, this is the preffered solution ;-)
