setDataXML can't handle <

[onekhy]

For some reason JS setDataXML does not handle the

<

correctly. I get the invalid XML error when I tired using the

<

character. I tried a couple of recommendations from forum using %3C and < with styles to no avail.

 

 

 

It works if I return the xml chart using the setDataURL. I tried the

>

and it works using %3E encoding.

 

 

 

Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Could you pelase try using <(in dataURL method) or %16lt;(in dataXML method)? 

Please note that < is not supported in vFREE charts.

I tired using < in the setDataURL and it works fine. That is why I find it odd. May there is some processing in the JS script when it retrieves the xml content from a URL.

 

 

 

Also I tried the %16lt; in setDataXML, the result is the "%16" portion gets converted to appropriate character but the remaining string "lt;" is still there. I tried %3C but in setDataXML the result is invalid XML error.

 

 

 

The version is the developer product.

Sudipto,

 

 

 

It works !!! Thanks. I am crossing my finger the next version will work with this type of fix as it is different than what gets passed to getDataURL.

It's not a bug precisely. It's the way the browser treats XML.
