Truncated text with entity references

[cardy]

Anybody know why, when I parse the following -

<foo>fred & amp; barney</foo>

I get

barney

instead of

fred & barney

i.e. the ampersand and the text to it's left are lost. The same happens with " and I suspect will happen with other entity references.

Please note - I had to put a space between the & and amp; to get the post to display properly. In my real code there is no space.

You're probably going to have to give us more context than that. If you put the following code in a file and display the file in IE, it displays as expected.

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?>
<root>
  <foo>Fred & amp; Barney</foo>
</root>

So what, exactly, are you doing?
