Answer 1

You can't put XSLT code you want to execute into a CDATA section, so simply use

<script type="text/javascript">

   var obj ={
    a:"mm",
    catalog: '<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(catalog)"/>'
    }

</script>

if you want to generate Javascript code where part of the code is computed by XSLT.
