From: Richard.McMillian@xxxxxxxx [mailto:Richard.McMillian@xxxxxxxx] I have a problem with non-breaking space being rendered as a "?" question mark by the IE webbrowser. I looked at the output html and the hex character is A0 as is is supposed to be; however the XSL automatically inputs <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-16"> after the header. Changing the Content value to iso-8859-1 results in the correct rendering of the A0. Where does the XSL derive this META tag value from? I've included an XML sample and the XSL code below. -- Getting utf-16 by default has nothing to do with xslt - it is a characteristic of the Microsoft xml/xslt processor, depending on how it is used. Getting the display you do is a tipoff that your browser does not support that character in its own default encoding. IE (in the US, anyway) is generally expecting iso-8859-1, so you get the nonbreaking space rendering as intended when you use that encoding. However, you have an error in the stylesheet. You used a wrong encoding value in the xsl:output element. You should write <xsl:output method="html" encoding="iso-8859-1"/> An encoding of "text" is not a recognized character encoding, and I am surprised you did not get an error from the processor. Also, with the html output method, you don't need to omit the xml declaration - since the output is gong to be html and not xml, the xml declaration will not be inserted anyway. Cheers, Tom P
