Hi bev0,

You can just do a <xsl:value-of /> where you want it - you should look into using a CDATA Section for all the JavaScript, so you don't have to escape stuff, e.g.:

      <script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[
        var agentID = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().match(/(android|webos|iphone|ipad|blackberry|avantgo|blazer|compal|elaine|hiptop|iris|kindle|lge|maemo|midp|mmp|mobile|o2|opera|palm)/);
        if (agentID) 
        { 
          if (document.cookie.indexOf("iPhoneRedirect")==-1 && (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().match(/iphone/i) || navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().match(/ipod/i) || navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().match(/ipad/i))) window.location = "http://server-name/mobilesplashiphone";          
          else if (document.cookie.indexOf("AndroidRedirect") == -1 && (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().match(/android/i))) window.location = "http://server-name/mobilesplashandroid";
          else if (window.location.href.indexOf('movie-detail.aspx')!=-1) 
          {
            window.location = 'http://server-name/mobilemoviedetail.aspx?movieID=]]><xsl:value-of select="$movieID" /><![CDATA[';
          }        
          else if (window.location.href.indexOf('weekly-email.aspx?status=unsubscribed')!=-1) 
          {
            var lURL = String(window.location.href);
            var lPos = lURL.indexOf('?');      
            window.location = 'http://server-name/mobileweeklyemail.aspx'+lURL.substr(lPos,(lURL.length-lPos));
          }
          else if (window.location.href.indexOf('movie-detail.aspx')==-1) window.location = 'http://server-name/mobilehome.aspx';
        }]]>
      </script>

I will say, however, that a much better solution will be to put the JS functionality into a function in a separate file, and just generate a simple function call in the XSLT.
