RE: [xsl] Empty spaces turn to %20

Hi Jarkko,

>From the description you give, I would guess that your parameters are
being URL encoded in order to pass them to the page that turns them into
XML. However, the process of retrieving the query-string parameters in
your script page is not stripping out the URL encoding, so you end up
putting the parameter value, encoding and all, into the XML. My advice
would be to strip out the encoding before adding the parameter to the
XML, that way there will be no problem when you transform it later with
an XSLT.

Subject: [xsl] Empty spaces turn to %20

Hi!

I am getting data from html form, which has text input fields. 
I pass the QUERY_STRING to sh script which turns it in to 
XML. Then I transform the XML to html with XSLT. 

Problem is how ever that the browser generates %20 to every 
empty space. 

Now I have XMl which looks like this:
<Publication>
<Author>Firstname%20Lastname</Author>
<Pubname>Text%20with%20spaces</Pubname>
</Publication>

Any change with XSLT to get rid of these %20's in the 
text parts?

Or should I do it with some other tool?

Cheers,
Jarkko
