A line "-" destroys the XML-code?

Hello
I have a strange problem. I have was sent a XML-document by my emplyoer a few weeks ago. It looks like this:

<description>Nej, det är inte Ugly Betty, men väl Janeane Garofalo som anlitats till den kommande säsongen av 24. Ett passande val kanske, när intrigerna i actionserien mest liknat ett skämt på sistone.</description>

I have constructed a flashfile that extracts and sorts the info from the ITEM-nodes as I want. But now my employer have sent me a new XML-file that my flashfiles will be working with. This is the new code. What I can see, it looks the same except for the lines "-" in front of the ITEM-nodes.

<description>Nej, vampyrer sover inte i kistor. De gillar vitlÃ¶k, och hÃ€ller du heligt vatten Ã¶ver dem, blir de bara blÃ¶ta. Det kan huvudpersonen i Moonlight intyga.</description>

Everything works with this new XML-file when I just remove the -. But I dont think that is an option. So my questions now are, what does the - do? Have my emplyoer done a misstake or does the - actually have a function? How can I get my code to work with all the - in place?

**renderhjs** · 09-04-2007, 09:55 AM

perhaps post it within [php] tags or [code] tags,- not readable right now,- or attach the xml file or link to it.

My guess is that whoever did that just copied the parsed Firefox or IE xml view and pasted it into a new document,- those "-" lines are defenitly wrong. Always edit xml files in a real editor,- not copy it from a viewer

**svanholm** · 09-04-2007, 09:56 AM

OK! Then my emplyoer just made a misstake, and when he deletes the lines, everything will work. Thank you.
