[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] problem with #&233; characters and such in URL
 Hi all,
I was hoping to get help with a little problem of mine I am a total noobie so bear with me.
I have an xls script where I construct an URL out of a variable like this:
---snip---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
...
<xsl:for-each select="cast/star">
<tr> <td nowrap="nowrap" class="value"><a href="http://us.imdb.com/Name?{person/lastname},+{person/firstname}"><xsl:apply-templates select="person"/></a></td> <xsl:if test="character!=''"> <td class="value"><i><xsl:value-of select="character"/></i></td> </xsl:if> </tr> </xsl:for-each> ---snip---
the current linking has a problem with accented Names like
e.g. Zaide Silvia Gutiérrez the template would make a link like: "http://us.imdb.com/Name?Gutiérrez,+Zaide Silvia" which will end up in the browser as: "http://us.imdb.com/Name?Guti%C3%A9rrez,+Zaide%20Silvia" which of course will lead to an error. the right link would look like this:
"http://us.imdb.com/Name?Guti%E9rrez,+Zaide+Silvia i tried to solve this via the ENTITY command without luck.
e.g.: <!DOCTYPE person [
<!ENTITY #233 "%E9"> ]> well, it would suffice to pass the names without any accents, too, i just don't know how i can do this....
can anyone help? only if there's an easy solution...
Thanks.
