Use the value of name to an html button onclick click function.

[ismailc]

Good day,

I need to use the value of the name to an html button onclick click function.

<xsl:element name="asp:CheckBox">
   <xsl:attribute name='id'><xsl:value-of select='@name' /></xsl:attribute>     
   <xsl:attribute name='runat'>server</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
 
<input id="btnDone" type="button" value="Done" onClick="@name.click();">

I want to onclick the button click the checkbox.
This does not work onClick="@name.click();"
but say the id of the checkbox = Test then onClick="Test.click();" works

Please help!

@ismailc
simple reason, the XPath expression (@name) only works on elements whose attribute value is parsed as such. i.e. the expression must be a) placed in an XSL element and b) the attribute denotes an XPath expression (select, match, test, …)

the best solution IMHO would be an external Javascript file (i.e. resign from using inline Javascript).

I got it going :)
Thank You

{@name}.click();

@ismailc
right… didn’t remember ’cause I hardly use those (despite the fact I don’t use inline Javascript either)
