JavaScript if problems with XML

Heya,

In my code at the moment I have a repeater that's getting values from my XML document and displaying them in a table. I wanted to exclude some of these values so that they only appeared once and I decided to use a JavaScript if statement to do it, this is what I came up with:

Code:

      <script language="jscript">
        var store = nil;
        var framec = nil;
      </script>
      <asp:XmlDataSource id="ds1" runat="server" DataFile="XMLFile.xml" />
      <asp:repeater ID="repeater1" DataSourceid="ds1" runat="server">
        <HeaderTemplate><table></HeaderTemplate>
        <ItemTemplate>
         script language="jscript">
            document.write("test");
            if ((store!=(<%#XPath("@type")%>)) || (framec != <%#XPath("@frame")%>)) {
              document.write('<tr><td>Framed <%#XPath("@type")%></td></tr>');
              store = <%#XPath("@type")%>;
              framec = <%#XPath("@frame")%>;
            }
            store = <%#XPath("@type")%>;
            framec = <%#XPath("@frame")%>;
          </script>          <tr>
            <td><%#XPath("@size")%></td>
            <td><asp:TextBox runat="server" Text='<%#XPath("width")%>'></asp:TextBox> X             
            <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%#XPath("height")%>'></asp:TextBox></td>
          </tr>
        </ItemTemplate>
        <FooterTemplate></table></FooterTemplate>
      </asp:repeater>

However, what it comes up with isn't quite what I had in mind. The javascript only seems to run for the last 3 entries of my XML, that "test" I put in the javascript only appears 3 times. The parts of my itemtemplate that are not in the JavaScript run fine, and I don't know why!

I'd be very grateful for any assistance!

Well, I got it fixed... the problem was to do with my XML file I believe (and some dodgy JavaScript coding), but it's doing exactly what I wanted it to do now!

Sorry for bothering ya all!
