SV: output encoding problem (can't get UTF-8)

2005-08-05 10:02:51
Yes, I just found a page explaining that, and using it like you specified
now it outputs UTF-8 correctly, with the charset attribute in the META tag
set to UTF-8 as well.

Now I have a follow up question. I get an UTF-8 encoded XML document that I
load into a DOM object and then transform (the "domXML" below).
The xml is this:
http://gabbah.no-ip.org/mirakel/default.asp?ctype=STP&cdoc=object&cnMaxRows=
10&cnBookmark=H2856&cpKNP=*&transform=no

So everything looks fine, the XML is UTF-8, the transformation outputs
UTF-8. BUT, the characters Å Ä Ö in the xml-file are encoded and I can't get
them to look correct no matter what encoding I choose in the browser.
I don't understand why this is happening in the transformation! I mean if
everything is UTF-8 it should work fine right?

The result is this:
http://gabbah.no-ip.org/mirakel/default.asp?ctype=KSP&cdoc=searchList&cpKNP=
*%C3%85*&cpADR=&cpSTN=&cnMaxRows=10


Any hints on what's happening?

Subject: [xsl] output encoding problem (can't get UTF-8)


I specify UTF-8 in my templates output element.

The transformation is done in ASP with IXSLTransform:

..
processor.input = domXML
processor.transform()
Response.write(processor.output)


The problem is that in the meta tag of the produced HTML page, there's no
encoding attribute at all.
The characters Å Ä Ö only look good when I set the brower to read the page
as ISO-8859-1. When I choose UTF-8 in the browser those characters are
questionmarks instead.

Why can't I get my output in UTF-8? It shouldn't matter what the input to
the XSL is right? Because it converts it all to Unicode in memory?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Because you are using the output property incorrectly. If you don't set it
it
will be a string which in ASP will always be UTF-16.
You need to set the output prior to transforming:
processor.input = domXML
processor.output = Response
processor.transform()
