 Hi David,
Your stylesheet uses xml:output encoding="UTF-8":
<xsl:output method="html" version="4.01" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8"/>
Yet in the output html, there's a meta tag with another encoding:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
If you take the generated output file and change charset=iso-8859-1 to
charset=utf-8, does the html form field display the correct string?
I don't know how this meta-tag ends up in the result,
but there might be an encoding conflict in your input file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<result>
<values>
<value>Larry</value>
<value>Gishle</value>
</values>
</result>
If you open that file in a hex-editor, how is the 'h' encoded?
The xml-declaration specifies "utf-8" so that should be two bytes
with hex value 'C3A8'. A 'normal' text-editor would display
"GisC(le" in that case. If the 'h' is encoded as one byte 'E8',
the actual encoding is not utf-8 but probably "iso-8859-1".
If that's the case, you can either stick to "utf-8" and replace "Gishle" with
"GisC(le" in the input file, or replace "utf-8" with "iso-8859-1" in your
xml-declarations (both xml source and xsl stylesheet) and in xsl:output.
I'm not sure if that will solve the javascript part, probably it will still
show something like "javascript:pushSelectionBackToOpener('Gis%E8le')"
but maybe the html form will show the correct string then.
Good luck,
Anton Triest

Subject: Non English characters in attribute values
Hi,
I am having a problem with non-english characters and how they appear in
attribute values as apposed to element content. This is a simplified
version of the code I having a problem with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:output method="html" version="4.01" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body><xsl:apply-templates select="//values" /></body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="values">
<ul><xsl:apply-templates select="value" /></ul>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="value">
<li>
<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute
name="href">javascript:pushSelectionBackToOpener('<xsl:value-of
select="."/>')</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:element>
</li>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Here is an example of the source document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<result>
<values>
<value>Larry</value>
<value>Gishle</value>
</values>
</result>
The result of running this xsl on the source doc is as follows (note
that the href attribute is different from the element content):
<html xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
<title></title>
</head>
<body></body>
<ul>
<li><a
href="javascript:pushSelectionBackToOpener('Larry')">Larry</a></li>
<li><a
href="javascript:pushSelectionBackToOpener('Gis%C3%A8le')">Gisèle</a></li>
</ul>
</html>
The javascript function puts its parameter into an htm form field, and
appears as "GisC(le" instead of "Gishle". Does anyone know how I can
get the right value to apear in the attribute value? I am using Saxon
8 BTW.
