Try it like this:
<script type="text/javascript"
language="javascript"><xsl:comment><![CDATA[
function validate(){
alert("Help ! This function is not been called ...")
}
//]]></xsl:comment></script>
note the "//" right before the closing CDATA.
An unfortunate problem with mozilla based XSLT is the lack of support for
disable-output-escaping. This means that pointy brackets in your javascript
will be escaped, which may or may not cause you problems. It depends on
where you use them. Many of us have argued with the developers about this
issue, but they are unwilling to budge, and have taken the position that
"it's not needed".
There are technical reasons why it would be hard for them to handle, but
it's something to be aware of if you're doing this sort of thing client-side
in mozilla-based browsers.
