Hi.

I've never quite got my head around character encodings in XML/XSLT/HTML 
processing paths - as I've never had to before.

But now I do and I have hit a problem where I don't know which part of 
the process requires correcting / fixing.

I have a process where I use xmlHTTP to send and receive XML data in a 
Web Page using Javascript.
I bascially send back an XML data structure - which is processed by the 
server - which then returns an XML file.

The server processing involves
1 - reading the transmitted XML data structure  - works fine
2 - doing some DOM processing - works fine.

Here's where the problems start - at some pont in the next 3 steps I get 
an invalid XML file.
(If I am not using character entities (eg. £) everything works fine.)

The next step tries to output the character entity £
3 - running XSLT on server to produce NEW XML DOM object
4 - outputting HTML/HEAD/BODY wrappers and printing the XML file to the 
output stream (using binary mode)
5 - in the browser - receiving the XML file - this fails as the XML 
contains illegal characters.

6 - DOM processing it in the browser client
7 - sticking into a new browser window.

Any clues / suggestions as to how to get £ through this process and 
onto the Web Page?

Thanks
