there shell be no difference between <xsl:value-of/> with <xsl:attribute/> or without it. What I can definitively say, is, that you don't need disable-output-escaping in general. Is there any difference between with or without it? d-o-e shell only be used, if you need < (less than) in a non XML conformant way like PHP (<? ... ?>) or JSP (<%). But you use Cocoon, so there shell be no need in (again) general. Can you look at the result of the XSP without transforming it?
The problem in your case seems to be the <esql:get-string/>. The data will be escaped then. Doesn't there exist a <esql:get-xml/>?

I'm reading some data from a database (mysql) using an xsp page.
My xsp is very simple, something like:
<esql:results>
<news>
<esql:row-results>
<title><esql:get-string column="title"/></title>
</esql:row-results>
</news>
</esql:results>
Then I fill a text field using this data:
<input type="text" name="title" size="50" maxlength="100">
<xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space
(news/title)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/></xsl:attribute>
</input>
When I wrote my data into the database, I converted special characters like "à" to "à" (I think this is a good practice, but correct me if I'm wrong!).
My problem is that the result after XSLT processing is:
<input maxlength="100" size="50" name="titolo" type="text"
value="&#224;">
and this is not what I really want, 'cause the user don't see the character "à" but the string "à".
As you can see, I've used the attribute "disable-output-escaping", but the output IS escaped.
If I try to output the content of (news/title) with a simple <xsl:value-
of select> (not wrapped by xsl:attribute), the characther is displayed as I expect.
any suggestion?
