hi

i converted an html to xml with TidyCom.
for special characters the conversion results into this:
é -> é

When loading the converted xml into an msxml object I get error on those special character entities.
I tested a lot with TodyCom, and seems there's no way to keep 'é' as 'é'.

How to get it fixed to be able to handle the new converted xml into an msxml object?

thx a lot, kabe.be

I've no idea what TidyCom is, but I doubt that this forum is a good way of reporting bugs in the product, which is what this appears to be.

I wasn't trying to get support for TidyCom here ...
just trying to get some help on handling next part of xml (as result of use of TidyCom):

<TR>
<TD height="20">Algemeen | G&eacute;n&eacute;ral</TD>
<TD>Seco-M Manager</TD>
</TR>

i get error on "&eacute;" when loading in msxml object.

is there a way to load it in a right way ?
Thx, Kabe


btw: more info about tidycom: http://tidy.sourceforge.net/

If your document contains a reference to &eacute; and doesn't reference a DTD that defines eacute, then it's invalid XML and no parser will be able to do anything with it. So you've got to fix the process that generates it.

I didn't realize TidyCOM was just a binding for the well-known Tidy utility. I suspect you've somehow invoked it with some incorrect options, or something.

it wasn't a solution, but always helps to affirm I had to search deaper :-)

Solution:
Had to set an option within the Tidy-code to convert special characters to Numeric Entities.

Works fine now.
