and
          1 &lt; 2
should be handled the same way - and both work for em.

Though I prefer also the external scripts.

I think you missed the problem Joerg.

No one wants to code 

if(1 &lt; 2)

Brent wants his scripts untouched.

Solution: external scripts.

All the best,

Subject: Re: Special Chars in HTML Output
Hello Brent,

it works for me by default.

<script type="text/javascript">
   function test() {
     if (1 &lt; 2) {}
   }
</script>
in the stylesheet is converted to (1 < 2) in the HTML output when using 
the HTML serializer. This is with Cocoon 2.1 and Xalan 2.5.1. I have 
neither configured something special in xsl:output nor the serializer 
declaration.

That does make since that it wouldnt escape the

and I was indeed serializing to xhtml - so I changed it
to html and I'm still having the same problem.
   <map:match pattern="index.html">
       <map:generate src="welcome.xml"/>
       <map:transform src="resources/styles/xsl/welcome.xsl"
type="xslt"/>
       <map:serialize type="html"/>
   </map:match>
Pretty straightforward.  I'll dig through the docs related
to the serializer and see what I find.
Here's a portion of the XSL file:

<xsl:template match="welcome">
...
     <script language="Javascript">
     <![CDATA[
         function checkAgree() {
             if (2 > 1) {
                 alert('DOH!');
             }
         }
     ]]>
     </script>
...
Thanks,

Probably you want to look at some details on HTML vs. XML 
output methods of xslt - 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-HTML-Output-Method . 
Relevant info there looks something like this: 
________________________________________________
The html output method should not perform escaping for the 
content of the script and style elements. For example, a 
literal result element written in the stylesheet as

<script>if (a &lt; b) foo()</script>
or
<script><![CDATA[if (a < b) foo()]]></script>
should be output as
<script>if (a < b) foo()</script>
The html output method should not escape < characters 
occurring in attribute values. 
________________________________________________

So, simple solution would be changing map:serialize from xml 
or xhtml to html. If it doesn't work for you, then probably 
you could try some analogy of <xsl:output 
cdata-section-elements="script"/> by modifying settings for 
your map:serialize / map:serializer - I can't give you 
details for that, try to find it in docs for XMLSerializer.




I'll say sorry up front - I'm sure this is a newbie thats been 
answered a hundred times on this list.  The search terms 
are so vague 


that I don't get any good results from searching around on the 
internet.

Pretty simple - I've got Javascript in my XSL file that
needs a less-than symbol.  I've got the Javascript wrapped 
in a CDATA 


section.. but thats getting converted to &lt; in the code.

How can I prevent this?
Probably somebody from advanced cocooners can provide better 
details / comment / solution for this problem - I also would 
be very interested in that.



Thanks,
