Subject: Re: [xsl] Microsoft.XMLDOM UTF-8 Encoding!
Exact,
The first byte supose to tell the encoding.
The first bytes *may* tell the encoding.
Like this UTF-16 => "Unicode byte-order mark [0xFF 0xFE] or [0xFE 0xFF]"
But Microsoft (and lot more) say that XML file generate with ASP
and XMLDOM
are UTF-8 by default. (no byte was added to the file...)
It doesn't need to.
So, How tell "Microsoft.XMLDOM" to save my XML file with a true UTF-8
encoding?
To *save* a DOM in UTF-8, do what you're already doing (create the XML
declaration using MSXML's createProcessingInstruction() and save the file).
However the issue seems to be *serving* XML to a client. You'll need to show
us *that* ASP code to find the problem. It's almost certainly an unnecessary
round-trip of the XML serialization trough a string, such as
response.write(dom.xml)
or
response.write(dom1.transformNode(dom2))
which *will* break encoding information.
