The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Error parsing XML in Firefox. No valid Character ""

Asked by AlexIraMty in Firefox Web Browser, JavaScript, C# Programming Language

Tags: , ,

Hello everyone, I have a problem parsing an XML file on Firefox. The XML i generated with a C# code which does not have any problem,  I use JavaScript for parsing other XML documents and there are no problems. But with my application (C#), sometimes an invalid character is set to an attribute of a node when the XML is generated.

Here is a description of my problem.

The information of this node is gotten from a record in a table of an MSI file.

dir: install
file: setup.msi
table: control
record:
    Dialog_                  Control                Type                     Attibutes              Text
    "ThisDialog"          "myControl"         "ScrollBarText"        "7"                 "The text 
 I want to parse it "



I dont have problems parsing 
 but with 

The complete Message I recieve on Firebug is
Error de lectura XML: referencia a un número de carácter no válido Ubicación:"path of XML File"

In english should be something like "XML reading Error: reference to a no valid character number located: "path of XML file""

I'll attach the Java Script code when i create the XMLDOM object.

I've benn thinking about replace that character for 
 or simply remove it from the "Text" Attribute but i dont have problems when i open it with IE.

So Im not sure if there is a way to parse that character. Any solution will be glad.Start Free Trial
