We googled the things and found that:

We can give 'javascript:URL' to the 'href' attribute of <xref>,<link> and <lq> elements and it will execute it properly.

e.g.<xref href="javascript:alert('Hello World');">Click here to get alert box</xref>

We tried to execute javascript user defined functions from href attribute but build fails.

We added .js files to .dita file resources and tried to refer a function from that file by href attribute.It is also not working.

Before converting the DITA files into html using DITA toolkit,if we want to add JAVASCRIPT functionality which can be later used in html files, how it can be done? Please guide us.
