Hi all, First of, thanks to all who gave me advice on xslt->html conversion, I have now solved the problem. Except it led to another problem. But that's life, right. Anyway, I have a xml-file with a list of employees. The list is broken into alphabetical sections. In the XSL-file I put in two loops. The first one goes through the document and collects data on the alphabetical sections and outputs an html table that shows all the letters of the alphabets as links to the appropriate sections. It looks like this: <xsl:for-each select="skjal/hluti"> <td><a> <xsl:attribute name="href">#<xsl:value-of select="@id"/> </xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of select="@id"/> </a> </td> </xsl:for-each> The second loop goes through the document, one section at a time, prints out the name of each section and displays appropriate data on employees that pertain to that section, like this: <xsl:for-each select="skjal/hluti"> <h2> <a> <xsl:attribute name="name"> <xsl:value-of select="@id"/> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of select="@id"/> </a> </h2> <xsl:for-each select="starfsm"> <p class="noindent"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="starf[.='']"><xsl:value-of select="nafn"/></xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="nafn"/>, </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="starf[.='']"></xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="starf"/></xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="deild[.='']"><br/></xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise><br/><xsl:value-of select="deild"/><br/></xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="netfang[.='']"></xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise><i>Netfang:</i> <tt><xsl:value-of select="netfang"/></tt><br/></xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> <i>Sími:</i> <xsl:value-of select="simi"/></p><br/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:for-each> So far so good. As I am using Icelandic I put 'encoding="iso-8859-1"' at beginning of the files, and also use "<xsl:output method="html"/>" (I'm using instant-saxon for the conversion to html). Everything works ok, except the "href" attribute. That is, the second loop gives this (for an A with acute accent): <a name="Á">Á</a> just like it should. If however the html-attribute is "href" the output is like this in html: <a href="#%C3%81">Á</a> I have absolutely no idea why this happens and haven't been able to find any clues. This could of course be a bug in saxon for all I know. Any ideas? Guðmundur XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
