How do you replace characters in xslt.
i have a url string that may contain '?' , '&', and '='
i want to convert
? to %3f
= to %3d
& to %26
is there a good way to do this? i try using translate function but it doesn't work that well. i've also tried writing a recursive template that checks for all occurence of these characters and it doesnt seem to work. any idea?

<xsl:template name="replace"> <xsl:param name="string" select="''"/> <xsl:param name="pattern" select="''"/> <xsl:param name="replacement" select="''"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$pattern != '' and $string != '' and contains($string, $pattern)"> <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($string, $pattern)"/>  <xsl:copy-of select="$replacement"/> <xsl:call-template name="replace"> <xsl:with-param name="string" select="substring-after($string, $pattern)"/> <xsl:with-param name="pattern" select="$pattern"/> <xsl:with-param name="replacement" select="$replacement"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="$string"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template>
