Display foreign characters

[johnv20]

Hi,
I am taking test & ship information from text files & converting these into xml. While this works fine in most cases I keep getting errors when trying to display ship to address's if the address contains a foregin character.

I have tried using CData to fix this but to no avail, does anybody know how these can be displayed

Im sure CData should work?

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?>
<ships>
<ship>
<toAddress><![CDATA[c/-TheCompany, #54 LongRd, Townname]]></toAddress>
</ship>
<ships>

That was how i solved the same problem

Tracey,
could you please try the address

the company, ESPA¥A, S.A

& see if this works, maybe its just the way my browser is configured

You've got a browser problem, not an XML problem. IE attempts to discover the encoding of a document by doing a statistical analysis on the contents of a page. Sometimes it gets it wrong.

Use a tool like XML Spy (

or Unipad (

which know about Unicode characters to view your XML file, not Internet Explorer.
