XML in IE6 1

[stinkybee]

As I am sure you all know, IE6 fails to parse XML documents that contain Unicode Plane 1 characters above 0x10000. Microsoft recognise this as a bug and say it will be fixed.

Until this happens (I have been waiting several months) I would like to replace all of my 0x10000 and above characters in my XML files, the trouble is I do not know what these are. Does anybody else know.

Hi stinkybee,

I came across XML parser problems in IE6 and got over the problem by substituting chars for their XML entity ref see:-

I haven't got a clue as to what "Unicode Plane 1 characters above 0x10000" are, but as I had to replace all chars above chr(127) for XML to Work. It may be that I have hit upon it.

Regards,

Thanks CodeFish, one of the problems was indeed the £ character. I had some other problems as well but I'm still not sure what they were. I ended up transfering the entire contents of my xml file into another xml file and then it worked. strange.
