XML which is given as input parameter to dataURL has special characters.

[malas]

I have some special characters in the XML data which we feed to the dataURL in the fusion charts. Below is the piece of XML code which I am sending to the dataURL, where the country name has a special character. It is throwing - Invalid XML data.

If you're using dataURL method, FusionCharts wouldn't throw an error. Using dataXML method, it will throw.

I am using dataURL method only, but still it throws the error "Invalid XML data" when there are special characters in the XML. (

Hi,

Can you please send the entire XML as attachment?

[malas]

Hi,

The graph XML looks something like the below one and the word which contains special character is highlighted.

Thanks,

I think it's the <BR> tags in  XML which is causing the error.

[malas]

But, I am getting the graph with <BR> tags which are without special characters.

[Pallav]

Hi,

I tried your XML with IE and it seems to give an error at <BR> tag. Can you try to make the XML look valid in IE/FF?
