xml output on .aspx page import into xslt ..?
i have this page in my CMS:

http://umbraco.dev/xml/staysNewsFeed.aspx

which contains a single usercontrol that outputs XML like this:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Root>
  <Stay>
    <Country>something</Country>
    <City>something</City>
    <Description>something</Description>
    <Price>something</Price>
    <youSave>something</youSave>
    <youSaveText>something</youSaveText>
  </Stay>
</Root>
```
so basicly the aspx file is an xml file in disguise .. :P ..

but how do i go about importing this xml into an xslt file in the CMS? :-)

if i just use the "umbraco.library:GetXmlDocumentByUrl($url)" i get an error like this:

System.Xml.XmlException: There is no Unicode byte order mark. Cannot switch to Unicode. at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ThrowWithoutLineInfo(String res) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.CheckEncoding(String newEncodingName) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseXmlDeclaration(Boolean isTextDecl) at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Read() at System.Xml.XmlLoader.Load(XmlDocument doc, XmlReader reader, Boolean preserveWhitespace) at System.Xml.XmlDocument.Load(XmlReader reader) at umbraco.library.GetXmlDocumentByUrl(String Url)

How do I go about this issue? :-)

Hmm. I'd check the encoding of the page when you view it in a browser and make sure it's utf-8 and with a correct MIME type. In firefox you can do this by loading the page and going to TOOLS > PAGE INFO in the menus. If your mimetype needs changed you there is a package for doing just that in umbraco utilities.

You can also try
```
<xsl:variable name="yourVariable" select="document('/path/to/page.aspx')"/>
```
And see if you get a different result.

in the code it says:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
```
but when i goto tools > page info:

it says UTF-8
