I am at wit's end !!!! (ASP Problem or XSL Problem?!?)

[thuraivan]

Hi..

I have an Asp file, which passes a parameter into an XSL... The XSL outputs some data based on the parameter... After that, the same ASP page outputs a form to the client, to collect some information...

My problem is... I get two junk characters viz.. "ÿþ" before the XSL output... irrespective of the data being output.

In the XSL file, i use <xslutput method = &quot;html&quot; />... Am i doing a mistake in this line?

Anybody can help me... This is really nagging me...

Thanks...

It seems that you are trying to output unicode without telling the browser about that.

Try using <xslutput method=&quot;html&quot; encoding=&quot;Windows-1252&quot;/> or something like that.

Next to that, try not to buffer the result of the transformation in a string, as ASP is not unicode aware.

so, instead of

<code>response.write oXML.transformNode(..)</code>

use

<code>call oXML.transformNode(oXSLT, Response)</code>

That'll probably do the trick (as long as you do not output anything else in that ASP-script)
