Hi all!

I'm trying to create an Anchor-tag with a querystring where the querystring
(SomeText) could exist of characters that are not valid in a URL such as
"å", "ä" and "ö". The XSLT processor (msxml 3) replaces these (which is
fine) -- but it doesn't replace it with the correct URL replacements such as
"%E5", "%E4", "%F6" but with "%C3%A5", "%C3%A4" and "%C3%B6". Why is that?
What am I doing wrong?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>          
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
	<xsl:output method="html" version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"
indent="yes"/>
	<xsl:template match="Root">
		<a>
			<xsl:attribute
name="href">test.html?parameter=<xsl:value-of
select="SomeText"/></xsl:attribute>
			Test
	   	</a>
	</xsl:template>		
</xsl:stylesheet>

I would be grateful for any help.

Regards,
Magnus Eriksson
