AW: [xsl] Microsoft.XMLDOM UTF-8 Encoding!

[Markus Abt <abt@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello [Tech],

I guess your problem is: the XML file you are generating is
correct UTF-8, but it doesn't contain the right characters.

I tried your web example. When I type in one non-ASCII character,
then save the resulting XML source file, it contains 4 bytes for
that character (which are displayed as 2 UTF-8 characters in the browser).

Maybe the problem is this line of your code:
  oEnreg.Text = request.form("texte")

It looks like taking a UTF-8 text, misinterpreting it, and converting it
later again to UTF-8 during the save.

Your parsing and transforming in ASP seems to contain another bug
(which Dimitre pointed out) which happens to eleminate the first one.

Bye,
Markus

I repeat,

I dont have problem to parse the XML. All caracters are UTF-8 encoding.
So response.write(dom.transformNode(xsl)) show the writh thing!

OK, let me show you!

Go here : http://www.trucsweb.com/rss/sauve3.asp
You can enter all non-us car and it will be UTF-8.
You see it's work good.

But try open the xml file directly in IE (or Mozilla the same)...
