RE: [xsl] Japanese characters show up as ? in browser

Andrew,

Thanks for the response, but it doesn't appear to be a problem with the
browser.  I have the following snippet in the XSL which renders properly
in both browsers:

         <td class="body" align="right" width="85" valign="center">
                  &#x65E5;&#x672C;&#x8A9E;:
         </td>

When the UTF-8 characters are embedded in the XSL, they seem to work
fine.  It appears to be only when I transfer them from the XML using the
xsl:value-of element, that they are not coming across properly.  Is
there anything else I could be missing?

Thanks again.

Regards,
Dave

I am using Xalan to transform XML into HTML.  The Japanese characters,
however, are shown as question marks in the browser.

Here is a snippet of XML:

        <Id>&#x65E5;&#x672C;&#x8A9E;</Id>
        <Description>&#x82B1;&#x5B50;</Description>

Here is the corresponding snippet of XSL that transforms this XML:

        <option>
                <xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of
select="Id"/></xsl:attribute>
                <xsl:value-of select="Description"/>
        </option>

Here is the HTML source I am getting from the browser:

        <option value="???">??</option>

I am using encoding="UTF-8" in the xsl:output element.  Any ideas of
what may be going wrong?  I have tried both FireFox and IE.


Ensure the browser is reading the file in the correct encoding and use
a font that contains those characters.

cheers
andrew
