I have an existing HTML page with a JavaScript in it that includes a variable that uses the UTF-8 character for the "degree" sign: var Array_L_Synth = new Array( //"(Opts[2], 'ChooseTemp', true, true)", "(fieldSpacer, 'ChooseTemp', true, true)", "('100 F or below', 'L_Synth_10')", "('150 F to 320 F', 'L_Synth_15')", "('350 F and above', 'L_Synth_35')" ); This page has no problems. I copied the JavaScript into a CDATA element in an XML file: <script><![CDATA[ <script type="text/javascript"> ... ]]></script> </script> I applied this template: <xsl:template match="script"> <xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes"/> </xsl:template> I'm using XMLSpy/MSXML 3. IE displays the output fine, but Firefox and Opera both have problems with the "degree" character, and the source shows the problem as well: var Array_L_Synth = new Array( //"(Opts[2], 'ChooseTemp', true, true)", "(fieldSpacer, 'ChooseTemp', true, true)", "('10B0 F or below', 'L_Synth_10')", "('15B0 F to 32B0 F', 'L_Synth_15')", "('35B0 F and above', 'L_Synth_35')" ); If I manually change the browser encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8, the problem resolves itself. However if I go to the orinal HTML (which displays fine) and change the browser encoding to UTF-8, the properly rendered "degree" signs turn into "?". I can't figure this one out. Any ideas? I'm using the exact same XML/XSL on two other JavaScripts that don't have any problems. It's not impossible for me to make this an external .js file if that will solve the problem, but I don't know if that will fix it and I'm interested in understanding what's going wrong. Thanks, -- Brook
