You can use the user.head.content template to insert script elements. See:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/InsertExtHtml.html
For example:
<xsl:template name="user.head.content">
<script src="scripts/website.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript">
<xsl:comment>
Javascript code goes here.
// </xsl:comment>
</script>
</xsl:template>
Getting the browser to execute the code is another thing. The reference
above describes how to use a processing instruction to insert something in
the output. You can also insert an onLoad attribute in the body element to
do something on loading. See:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/BodyAtts.html
Depending on what you want the Javascript code to do, you may have to do
other customizations.
