RE: output encoding problem (second try)

2005-08-17 07:00:17
I don't know if I'm the only regular on this list who generally makes a
point of not following links, especially links that cause programs to
execute. It's partly general caution, partly that I'm always busy, and
partly in a case like this because I don't think following the link will
tell me much, since there is so much happening between the output of the
XSLT transformation and the pixels that I see in my browser window.

What's needed is to look at the input and output files of the transformation
directly (with a hex editor) to see:

(a) what the declared encoding is (what's in the XML declaration)
(b) what the actual encoding is (what hex codes are used to represent Å Ä Ö)

The chances are that the two don't match.

Subject: [xsl] output encoding problem (second try)

Hi.
I've been going at this problem for quite some time with no luck.
The problem is one of encodings. My XSL-file transforms an 
XML document, and
also reads from another one using document(). For some 
reason, these two
never display the characters Å Ä Ö in them correctly *at the 
same time*
(that is, using a specific encoding).

Below is a link to the output of the transformation. First I 
output with
IXSLprocessor, and below that using transformNode().

As you can see, with IXSLprocessor, the XML read with document() is
displayed correctly, but the main XML is not (the word  
'Trollhättan' is
from the main XML).
With transformNode(), the main XML is displayed correctly, while the
'imported' one is not. (the word Kabelsk?p is from the imported)

I'm trying to output everything in UTF-8. The output element 
controls the
output encoding only when I use transformNode(), not with 
IXSLProcessor.
If you change the encoding used in the browser, either the 
main XML or the
imported will not look good!
*OBSERVE* that the transformation is successful if I 
transform it in XMLSPY;
all characters display fine. (Then the main XML has been 
saved to disk first
and the transformed).
So the problem is when I go via ASP!

The asp:

the XSL:
http://gabbah.no-ip.org/mirakel/XSL/PC/KSPex.xsl
the main XML:
http://gabbah.no-ip.org/mirakel/ex.asp?ctype=KSP&cdoc=object&c
nBookmark=ARNE
BACKEN&cpKNP=*&transform=no
the XML imported with document():
http://gabbah.no-ip.org/mirakel/XML/languageDependent.xml
XML-engine:
MSXML3

Any help with this would be MUCH appreciated.. I've been 
struggling with
this for many many days!
