How to call javascript functions from XSLT without using additional libraries etc.?

Question

I must have a return value from javascript function. Is there a way to do this without using additional libraries. What I tried:

<xsl:variable name="fieldOf">
    <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="type">
    <xsl:value-of>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            getTypeFromXSDFile(<xsl:value-of select="$fieldOf"/>)        
        </script>
    </xsl:value-of>
</xsl:variable>

So that I can use return value of javascript function.

Thanks

@savruk: You can call any extension function as long as your XSLT processor implements it or you provide its implementation to the transformation context. In XSLT 1.0, any function call with namespace prefix will be an extension function. How to register an extension function entirely depends on the XSLT processor. — user357812

@savruk: If you provide a description of the function, someone might bring you a pure XSLT implementation. — user357812

@Alejandro With this function I want to get this Xpath query's result from xsd file: xs:schema/xs:element[@name=$fieldNameFromXmlFile]/@type This is basicly what I need. I try to do it with dynamic Xpath query as $fieldNameFromXmlFile always change. But it did not work. So I thought maybe if I can call javascript I could get the type. — savruk

@Alejandro But when I try to get the type with <xsl:value-of>, it behaves like a string. And just put the "xs:schema/xs:element[@name='sampleField']/@type" to page. It does not get the type of the element — savruk

No, Not in pure XSLT.

Some XSLT processors provide their own way to call Javascript (or other language) functions. For example, all Microsoft XSLT processors provide the <msxsl:script> element.

No. You can only use XPath functions.
