Re: reserved character in XML element value

["TC" <tcrook57@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,

   I just went through this with setting up several XML applications on my 
clients systems. You have to replace it with the &amp. There are several 
characters along with the & that are "illegal" in XML, they are <, >, ', and 
".
I just did a routine in my XML document creation programs to replace the & 
with the + sign and passed that instead as my client wanted to retain the & 
in their name and address fields.

Hope this helps,
T Crook

Subject: reserved character in XML element value

Hello,

I have a data item on file that I'm inserting into an element before posting 
it in a request. In this particular case, the data contains a '&' which is 
causing server's  parser to error out. I do have it wrapped in <![CDATA[ 
...]]>. Obviously I'm misunderstanding  this, since I thought occurrences of 
such  would be accepted if  inside this wrapper.

Otherwise, am I correct in assuming that I'd need to search and replace any 
occurrences of this with &amp; before assignment?

Thanks,

David
