problem with name spaces in XML

[sqldev80]

I have a big XML file which has lot of data in it which is like

<item>
<g:image_link>

http://www.link.com/images/424436.jpg</g:image_link>

<guid>424</guid>
<g:label>AAAAAAAAAA</g:label>
<g:label>STUFFF</g:label>
<g:label>BLAH BLAH</g:label>
<g:label>MORE BLAH BLAH</g:label>
<g:location> New York USA</g:location>
</item>


If i run the file as is in IE i get an error in it. IF i remove the G: and remove the definiation for g: which is

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<rss version ='2.0' xmlns:g='

http://base.google.com/ns/1.0'>

then I get no errors. Otherwise I get this error

An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'file


Although there is no invalid stuff in there. If it is then file should not work even without the g: stuff

ANY HELP on this.

Try validate your file with w3 feed validator. I think the error message might make better sense to you.

http://validator.w3.org/feed/

this gives me the same result as IE
that validator works like the IE

 

[tsuji]

Really? You have actually done so or you just think so?

 

[sqldev80]

I have done it. If you enter the HTML text in the W3 validator, it uses IE to test. Try it yourself. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

 

[tsuji]

w3 feed validator: that's the link I post. (feed means rss feed or atom.)

Or you should pose your question to html forum if you're talking about html.

I meant XML and not HTML
