Re: Escaping for use in URLs

The parser I am using does not do this . . . (xalan XSLT)

I have the output set to HTML, do I have to have the encloding set to
something to have this work???

ie: <xsl:output method="html" encoding="?"/>

and I miss spoke the last time . . . it basically needs to make the value
URL-encoded . . . meaning

space  =    %20
/         =     %2F
?        =     %3F
etc . . . .

Thanks!
