Our system creats XML file dynamically. When thr user clicks the Preview button, the XML should open in the Ineternet Explorer.

If the XML file is not valid, the file is not getting open in the IE.

We should give the provision to the user to preview the XML though it has errors or not valid one.

I removed the Schema information from the XML file. Still it not getting opened in IE.

I assumed IE has inbuilt parser to parse the XML.

Is there any provision to open the file in IE.

Please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

What are you using to create the XML file? Its doesnt sound as if it is schema aware. IE will not parse an xml file if it is not well formed.

bonekrusher is correct, IE will only complain if the file is not well-formed, i.e. it's not XML, when attributes aren't quoted or an unescaped ampersand is present for instance. The way around this is to check before hand if it is badly formed by loading it into a parser first and then either save it with a txt extension before opening in IE or to open it in something like Notepad.
