RE: Replacing double quotes with XSLT

I'm trying to replace " within a string in XSLT and replace it with ""
but I'm not having any luck.

Does NOT work

<xsl:element name = "OrganizationCode">
      <xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
      <xsl:value-of select =
"translate(../@OrganizationCode,'\"','\"\"'"/>
      <xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
</xsl:element>

Does NOT work

<xsl:element name = "OrganizationCode">
      <xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
      <xsl:value-of select =
"translate(../@OrganizationCode,'&#x22','&#x22&#x22'"/>
      <xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
</xsl:element>

Does anyone have any suggestions ???


Both methods fail because translate() replaces one character with
another single character.  You have to write a recursive template - it
is not hard.  See Dave Pawson's FAQ pages, especially
