The code you included below runs without error (when you supply the missing
closing tags, of course). So the problem is probably in the xml document
pulled in by the document() call in the variable. You need to check that it
is well-formed.
However, once that is fixed, you will still not get what you want. That is
because your script is enclosed in a comment. Comments will not be echoed
to the output, so you won't get the script between the <script> </script>
tags.
The easiest solution is to put the entire chunk of javascript into a CDATA
section, like this:
============================================
<HTML>
<![CDATA[
<!--
var aname='pull';
var NS4 = (document.layers) ? 1 : 0;
var IE = (document.all) ? 1 : 0;
var DOM = (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >=5) ? 1 : 0;
var MAC = ((navigator.appVersion.indexOf("PPC") >0) ||
(navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac") >0)) ? 1 : 0;
//global nav
function ShowLayer(){return};
function OutLayer(){return};
if (document.layers) {
appVer = navigator.appVersion.substring(0,4);
if (appVer < 4.06) NS4 = 0;
}
if (NS4 || IE || DOM) globalPulldown = 1;
if (!globalPulldown) event = null;
//-->]]>
</xsl:template>
=================================================
This gives your desired output.
As an aside, your script should go into an explicit head element, rather
that beoing plunked down directly inside the <HTML> element. it's true that
the start and end tags of the head element are optional, but it's better
practice and will help prevent mistakes if you go to xhtml.
