I made a comment on your previous question (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42498064/why-value-of-not-working-in-xslt-in-loop) which is relevant here. XSLT can't access javascript variables, because by the time the HTML and Javascript is created the XSLT (and XML) is long gone and is not accessible. XSLT is used to generate HTML (and javascript), but it is not used in the processing of that HTML. You should really start off by trying to write the HTML you want manually, putting aside XSLT until you know exactly what you want your HTML and javascript to look like. — Tim C, Feb 28 '17 at 09:01
