XSL transform output to javascript

Question

I have an xml :

<Data>
<Revenue>
  <revDate>2015-05-31 00:00:00.000</revDate>
  <source>1</source>
  <currencyId>50</currencyId>
  ...
</Revenue>
<Revenue>
  ...
</Revenue>
</Data>

I need to populate an html template using xsl transformation. The logic is dependent on whether the 'Source' node is 1 or not.

I am trapping the source node in the first row of the revenue data in the xsl as follows -

<xsl:variable name="sourceID">
    <xsl:value-of select="Data/revenue[@source][1]/text()"/>
</xsl:variable>

This is then passed onto a javascript function -

<a href=".." onClick="javascript:return isSourceLinked('{sourceID}');">

However,this does not work as the null/blank check on the parameter sourceID always fails(irrespective of whether it contains value or not).

What am i doing wrong - how do I trap the node value?

your xpath seems wrong... revenue => R capital, @source is attribute not element although in your xml source is element. — gp.

How are you generating the Javascript? Or "passing" the XSL variableinto Javascript? You are missing a step here. — user764357

Your expression for sourceID is wrong. Try instead ...

<xsl:variable name="sourceID" select="Data/Revenue/source[1]/text()" />

Shouldn't revenue be Revenue instead?
