how can I prevent the automatic inserted encode?

[Guest_imported]

transform XML with XSL is cool. but in the result there is always encoded inserted like this:

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-16&quot;?>
or :

<meta http-equiv=&quot;content-type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=&quot;UTF-16&quot;>
but such setting is not always what I want.
how can I tell it don't insert this attribute?
i tried

<xslutput method=&quot;xml&quot; encoding=&quot;windows-1252&quot; />
but it is just ignored.

Hi Jerron,

I gather you're using IE or the Microsoft parser to transform your xml?

With the MSXML parser the only encodings supported are UTF-8 and UTF-16 when you include a processing instruction. All other encodings are ignored and defaulted to UTF-16. The only work-around yet it to manually replace the encoding after the transformation....

Hopefully the've expanded this support with the 4.0 parser.

Good luck!
