[xsl] Non English characters in attribute values

Subject: [xsl] Non English characters in attribute values

Hi,

I am having a problem with non-english characters and how they appear in
attribute values as apposed to element content.   This is a simplified
version of the code I having a problem with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
<xsl:output method="html" version="4.01" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
   <html>
      <body><xsl:apply-templates select="//values" /></body>
   </html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="values">
   <ul><xsl:apply-templates select="value" /></ul>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="value">
   <li>
       <xsl:element name="a">
           <xsl:attribute
name="href">javascript:pushSelectionBackToOpener('<xsl:value-of
select="."/>')</xsl:attribute>
           <xsl:value-of select="."/>
       </xsl:element>
   </li>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Here is an example of the source document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<result>
   <values>
       <value>Larry</value>
       <value>Gishle</value>
   </values>
</result>

The result of running this xsl on the source doc is as follows (note
that the href attribute is different from the element content):
<html xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
  <head>
     <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">

     <title></title>
  </head>
  <body></body>
  <ul>
     <li><a
href="javascript:pushSelectionBackToOpener('Larry')">Larry</a></li>
     <li><a
href="javascript:pushSelectionBackToOpener('Gis%C3%A8le')">Gis&egrave;le</a><
/li>
  </ul>
</html>

The javascript function puts its parameter into an htm form field, and
appears as "GisC(le" instead of  "Gishle".  Does anyone know how I can
get the right value to apear in the attribute value?  I am using  Saxon
8 BTW.
