RE: special character

[David N Bertoni/Cambridge/IBM]

Rajeev,

XSLTC is URL-encoding a non-URL attribute, so I suspect this is a bug.  You
should try the same stylesheet with interpretive Xalan.  If you get a
different result, and it's the result you expect, file a bug report and
attach a minimal set of inputs to reproduce the problem.

I have used ISO-8859-1 encoding in xsl.
The strange thing about this transformation is that when I give &#197; in
<TD> it works fine whereas if  I give as <TD><INPUT name="test"
value="&#197;"/></TD> it gives me %c5 value.

Rajeev,

Which character encoding are you using?

Thanks for your reply, but my problem is still not resolved, I tried both
the ways and
I get &#197; as a result of first option and %c5 as a result of second
option.

I have tried giving disable-output-escaping="yes" in value-of tag and that
too didn't
work.

For your information I am using Apache's XSLTC for XSL transformation,
using
translet for transformation.

Following are the parameters used to provide TransformerFactor class to
create translet :

String key = "javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory";
String value = "org.apache.xalan.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl";

Regards.
Rajeev

Rajeev,

There are two methods you could use:

1. Use &amp;#197; instead of &#197; ie:
<xsl:variable name="special_character">&amp;#197;</xsl:variable>

2. Use an ENTITY declaration, e.g.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
   <!ENTITY special-character "&#197;">
]>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; >
   <xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:element name="INPUT">
         <xsl:attribute name="name">test</xsl:attribute>
         <xsl:attribute name="value">&special-character;</xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:element>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Regards,

Antony

P.S. A simpler method to produce an INPUT tag is as follows:
      <xsl:template match="/">
         <INPUT name="test" value="&special-character;"/>
      </xsl:template>

Hi,

Does anyone know how to display special character in Input element text
line
?

Code snippet in xsl :

<xsl:variable name="special_character">&#197;</xsl:variable>
<xsl:element name="INPUT"> <!-- INPUT -->
             <xsl:attribute name="name">test</xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:attribute name="value">
                         <xsl:value-of select="$special_character"/>
             </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>

Expected result : �

Acutal Output in Input element : %c5 <-- Wrong

How to display � instead of %c5 in HTML Input element ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards.
