in reply to SOAP string conversion problem

Parsers will ignore closing tags if they haven't seen an opening tag. I don't know if taking the shortcut you mention is legal, but it will probably work fine.

btw, the proper way to write < in HTML is <, as opposed to & l t ;.

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I am not sure what shortcut I took. As for ignoring closing tags - the opening tags are there, the parser just converts them. How do I get it to recognize and convert both tags?

      I was trying to say the > don't need to be escaped because &lt;...> will not be confused as <...>. The library takes the shortcut of not escaping >s to save time and to reduce the size of the output.

        Thanks, this soap stuff is all new to me and I am just starting to understand everything about it. Thanks for the info.
