UTF-8 html output and links

Hi all,

I have some XMLs in different languages and a XSL that outputs UTF-8 XHTMLs
from them.
The links in the final XHTMLs are not working when they contain extended
characters.
I'd like to know if there's any kind of function like escape() in JavaScript
to convert the link strings into valid URLs.

Thanks a lot,
Frank.
