javascript and xsl

[burnettryan]

I am having a problem with using xsl/xml and javascript. I am trying to
dynamically display some data from an XML file using javascript. This following
is the function call:

function displayText_HTML(display)
{
anch = document.createElement("a");
newText = document.createTextNode('<xsl:value-of
select="Procedures/Procedure/Question/Name"/>');
anch.appendChild(document.createElement("br"));
anch.appendChild(newText);

document.getElementById("body").appendChild(anch);
}

The problem is that when i call this function when it is declared inside of
the *.xsl document (e.g. <script />) I get the correct output; get_mouse, but
when the funciton is declared inside of a javascript file (*.js) I get the
following output:

<xsl:value-of select="Procedures/Procedure/Question/Name"/>

Does anyone have any idea of how to get the 2 functions to return the same
value? How to execute an xsl statement inside of a *.js file?
