RE: Accents problems in "action" attribute of a <fORM>

The url i want the form to be posted to contains a querystring:
validForm.asp?titre=ohé

actually my xml contains : <TRUC cible=validForm.asp?titre=ohé>
I don't really want to separate titre=ohé from validForm.asp in the XML,
it's better if it's a single attribute.

If I make a onclik attibute on a <p> element in the template :
<p>
<xsl:attribute name="onclick">window.location='<xsl:value-of
select="@cibleHaut"/></xsl:attribute>
</p>


Then it work fine, the accents stays et the page is open (validForm.asp
doesn't compulsary need datas from the form==> it's contains a : if
request.form="" then do nothing)
the url of the page is then really
manythings/validForm.asp?titre=ohé

If this page can be displayed even if it contains accents in the url
(althought it's not allowed in the HTML spec, my browser  might be too
permissive ?)
The problem is then only to generate the good HTML form page with
<form action=validForm.asp?titre=ohé> instead of <form
action="validForm.asp?titre=oh%C3%A9"/>
from my XML/XSL and ASP transformation...

Ok i've just seen Mickael's mail... so i undersand, the XSL processor
prevent me from puting accents in "URI-valued attributes" so long as I
declare <xsl:output method="html"/>, it's just so. I'll try another way of
doing the stuff (putting  the accented datas in the form by using
string-functions to separate it from the rest of the cible attribute).

Thanks for your help, really complete and clear !

--------------------
Well if you are using output method of HTML (or your document element is
"HTML" then URL's should be escaped as per HTML spec. I believe that URL's
do not allow accented characters because they are non ASCII.
