Escape character for "/"

[ColinGregory]

Hi everyone

I know the answer to this is easy (when you know how) but I can't pin it down anywhere on the web...

I'm sure the following string is preventing my file from processing

00246/1.0

How can I escape out the forward slash and decimal place?

Thanks in advance
Colin

Not likely. Post a bigger chunk of your file to show us the context.

And a larger sample of your XML (the 5 lines prior to this one and the 5 lines after would probably be enough)

I parsed your xml with this xsl:

<xsl:stylesheet version=&quot;1.0&quot; xmlns:xsl=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot;>[/URL]
  <xsl:output method=&quot;html&quot; version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot; indent=&quot;yes&quot;/>
  <xsl:template match=&quot;/&quot;>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match=&quot;RENCS_LOT&quot;>
    <table border=&quot;1&quot;>
      <tr><td>
        <xsl:value-of select=&quot;PRODUCT_CODE&quot;/>
      </td></tr>
      <tr><td>
        <xsl:value-of select=&quot;OLD_PRODUCT_CODE&quot;/>
      </td></tr>
      <tr><td>
        <xsl:value-of select=&quot;LONG_DESCRIPTION&quot;/>
      </td></tr>
      <!-- etc etc -->
    </table>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

No problem.
So I guess your problem is something else...

I concur with jel: IE parses and displays this nicely. In the immortal words of Foghorn Leghorn, You musta goofed up somewhere else.
