Hi,
I'm using the Oracle XML parser for PL/SQL to take an XML document and XSLT document stored as CLOBs in a table, transforming the XML using the XSLT document to get a resultant HTML clob. All is well apart from the XSLT Processor always escapes any XML entities found in attribute values of tags. eg:
in the XSLT there is a literal tag:
<body onload="init('somevalue')">
...
</body>
but the Parser always escapes it to:
<body onload="init('somevalue&apos
">
...
</body>
which makes the browser javascript error because it is not converting the entities back. So I need to get the parser to stop doing this. It doesn't do it for element content - only attribute values. Tried using Microsoft's parser and the XSLT works fine. But I need to use the Oracle parser.
Tried using
<xslutput method="html">
and
<xslutput method="xml">
in the stylesheet but neither work.
Tried:
<body>
<xsl:attribute name="onload"><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">init('somevalue')</xsl:text></xsl:attribute>
...
</body>
but it too doesn't work!
As a hack I'm just doing a search and replace on the resultant HTML to replace the entity with the character but I'm not happy about this solution.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Ian
