in reply to XML Parser error

It's probably just a missing or wrong encoding declaration at the top of the XML file. Find out which character encoding the XML file is stored in, and modify the first line in the XML file to look like 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="correct_encoding_here"?>

    Thanks for the quick reply -- but I believe the files are correctly encoded. They have this at the top:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

      but I believe the files are correctly encoded.

      Believes are a bad basis for debugging. Open the file in a hex editor (or use hexdump -C) and check if the bytes corresponding to the ® are C2 AE. Only then do you know that it's not an encoding issue, and then I'm willing to look into other possible causes.

        Ok, in my HEX view it's AE. Unfortunately I don't have control over how the XML pages are encoded.

        So what does this mean?

        thanks,
        Scott
