it could be a few things
first off u are passing urlencoded data via the query string, which in my
experience can have some rather different results with different parsers,
being unfamiliar with apache XSLT processor i would suggest passing this
data raw and if possible i would post with hidden form fields and a
javascript document.form.submit(); instead of pushing it along the URL.
2nd off the rubbish that is coming back are entities that represent your
character, i am not sure if its rubbish or not, because i need to see the
original polish chars.
3rd, probably is the most likely reason
<xsl:output method=""html" encoding="utf-8" />
which will force your transform to correctly output the character set you
require ?
good luck, jim fuller
