Hello again, Hopefully not problem but question (whether it is a problem for me depends on the answers to my question :)

Julian Reschke:

> Set oXml = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
> Set oXsl = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
>
> call oXml.loadXML(vXmlData)
> call oXsl.load(Server.MapPath(".\Stylesheets\File.xsl"))

> sData=oXml.transformNode(oXsl)
> Response.Write(sData)
Never do that. You'll loose encoding information.

Use

oXml.transformNode(oXsl, Response)

instead.

And complain to MSDN about their faulty examples.

I have never heard of this, loosing encoding information before, and I use this code all over when transforming my documents. Can you (or anyone else) please explain to me what exactly I am loosing? (When I say encoding, I strongly presume that you don't mean the character encoding as in the problem I had, but in a broader way...?)

Insidently, I looked up w3shool.com, looking for examples of the "right" way, and they showed (transforming on the client): .. document.write(xml.transformNode(xsl))

Which is not exactly the same as Julian Reschke's example, but doesn't convert it into a string, before output, either.

Thank you again
Ragulf Pickaxe :)
