Hi Manos and the others who replied :-)
The javascript code should be written only if I have an "error" tag for a
specific text input field.
This error tag is produced by form validation. Then there is the classical
code :
<!-- if error element -->
<error>
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="../@Id"/>_<xsl:value-of
select="@Name"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="when">is-null</xsl:attribute>
<font color="red">
[explicit error message]
</font>
[and here I'd like to put my javascript but it fails executing]
</error>
you see that the name of the input field is determined "at xslt runtime"...
and that the whole code above is in a template matching a certain tag, which
../@Id and @Name attributes are used... So I cannot use "onLoad" method...
Any other ideas ?
Thanks a lot,
Barbara
