French accent characters and xsl:attribute
Frederic Claux
Here is my XML file (not very interesting since the XSLT generates
everything) :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl" ?>
<dummy>
</dummy>
Here is a my XSLT file :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<html>
<head>
<title>This is a test</title>
</head>
<body>
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
javascript: alert('The E acute character in French is : é')
</xsl:attribute>
Check this out
</a>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Here comes my HTML output :
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=UTF-16">
<title>This is a test</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript: alert('The E acute character in French is : %C3%A9')">
Check this out
</a>
</body>
</html>
That's not what I want...
How can I force the output to be :
<a href="javascript: alert('The E acute character in French is : é')">
Check this out
</a>
I don't want to play with escape sequences inside my XSLT and I would like
my é character to be typed as-is. In other words, I'd like - if possible -
to keep the XSLT very readable.
Any idea ?

PS: I hope you can all see the three 'E acute' characters present in this
message.

instead of the windows-1252 character set.

Use...
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="windows-1252"/>
in your XSL
Hope this helps
