<xsl:text>','</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="this"/>
<xsl:text>');</xsl:text>

should become
<xsl:text>','this');</xsl:text>

this is not an element, so no need for value-of

after replacing with this
<xsl:text>','this');</xsl:text>
I am not able to access the object in the getControls() function.

When I am put alert to check obj, I am getting this in alert box. what I need is the object of the anchour tag.

function getControls(link,title,obj)
{
alert(obj);
}

Thank you.

Please, carefully check what we are doing

<xsl:text>','</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="this"/>
<xsl:text>');</xsl:text>

Passes the string content of the element <this> as a string in the parameter field

With my suggestion, you still have quotes, so you pass the string "this" as a parameter
<xsl:text>','this');</xsl:text>

if you remove the quotes, you would be passing the object
<xsl:text>',this);</xsl:text>

I hope you understand the difference between all of them

I am still not able to get the object, I am getting an error as "null or not a object". I should be able to get the object, because in my senario I have to go to the parent element with the help of this object.

Please help.

Thank you.

well, you now have access to the "this" object, whatever that is,
but I think you will need something in terms of
"this.form" or similar
why do you need the object in the function? It is kind of tricky
