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()
