Include JavaScript file in Appearance XSL of LiveS

Hi Guys,
I am trying to setup LiveSite2.1. I am trying to create a component on livesite development server and in that component I need to include JavaScript.
Any idea how do we include the JavaScript in Appearance XSL.
I tried to use <xsl:script> tag but this tag is not supported by XSL1:0 which is being used for creating components. I am not sure how far its gud to use msxml tag becasue then it can be browser dependent.

looking forward to your response if someone has done the same ...

Regards
-Amar

you can use the dynamic token $URL_PREFIX to reference the workarea root ( in TeamSite ) and the web-app root ( when in runtime ).

example in your XSL:


<xsl:template match="/">
  <script type="text/javascript" src="$URL_PREFIX/js/api.js"></script>
</xsl:template>

Thanks for your reply but I used it using Javascript in CDATA section and its working for me that way as well.

If you're going to write JS directly in the XSL code, sure... I thought you wanted to include a JS file.

fyi for the rest of you:


<xsl:template match"/">
   <script type="text/javascript">
   <![CDATA[

      var foo = "hello there, this is a way to JS in XSL";
      alert(foo);

    ]]>
   </script>

   <!-- i thikn this will also work, but not sure -->
  <script type="text/javascript">
  <xsl:text>
      var foo = "hello there, this is a way to JS in XSL";
      alert(foo);
  </xsl:text>
  </script>

</xsl:template>
