HTML entity codes in XML do not display in IE browsers

I have an XML file generated via PHP/MySQL that contains HTML entities like " ² ". I'm using DW CS3 to create a Spry (1.6.1) dataset from the XML file and filling a Spry table.
If I open the table page in any IE browser (6, 7 or 8) the table is filled and displays OK but these characters are just missing, however, I can open this same page with the same Spry dataset in Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome, etc. and all characters are displayed correctly, it's just IE that refuses to play.
I've tried changing DTDs and UTF8 page encoding, nothing seems to make a difference.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated [ I can feel wrist slitting time approaching ... ]

Hi Phil, it works!
Many thanks for your suggestions, they certainly helped solve the problem. I had previously tried wrapping in CDATA but I just got the entity codes displayed as text and sort of gave up looking there.
The solution is to use CDATA to wrap the relevant content AND to format the column type to "html" with set "ColumnType".
I also found that Entity declarations can be removed from the XML, so I shouldn't have to worry about any entity codes I might encounter in source data.
The site I'm working on will eventually be multilingual with supplied database content, so I can't control the source data and all site features must work equally well in all languages.
I've updated the sample file with some Russian source data and set both character columns to "html", it works just fine! It shouldn't matter which method gets used to insert any special characters.

many thanks for all responses, much appreciated!

Entering HTML Entity Codes

I haven't been able to find a way to insert HTML entity codes (specifically, to use em dashes, but other needs arise) through the interface. HTML snippets are intended for something entirely different. Apart from opening published output in an editor to insert the entity codes, is there a simple way that I've missed finding?

If you want to change the characterset then presumably you can only do that post publishing.

XML attribute not displayed by stylesheet

HI Gentlemen,
I set up a very simple case where some of the input data is in attributes. It works fine for the element content--firstname, however it does not display the attribute requested. What can be wrong? Please help!
Thanks, regards
Miklos
The XML instance (people.xml):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="c:\XSL\people.xsl"?>
<people>
<person born="1912" died="1948">
<name>
<firstname>Alan</firstname>
</name>
</person>
</people>
The corresponding stylesheet (people.xsl):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="person">
<person born="{born}" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Are you opening "people.xml" directly in a web browser?
If so, I think you need to transform to HTML for a proper display.
For example :
people.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="file://c:/XSL/people.xsl"?>
<people>
<person born="1912" died="1948">
<name>
<firstname>Alan</firstname>
</name>
</person>
</people>
people.xsl
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="person">
<html>
   <body>
    <p><xsl:text>First name = </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="name/firstname"/></p>
    <p><xsl:text>Born = </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="@born"/></p>
    <p><xsl:text>Died = </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="@died"/></p>
   </body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>Otherwise, you could use any XSLT processor to perform the transformation.

KM Repository images,and XML Forms not displaying.

Hello All,
I am currently running NW04 SPS14 Portal with KM & Collaboration.
However, the icons in the Content Management>> Explorer>> Documents repository are not displaying. Instead a little while box, with a red x sign appears in place of the images.
When I launch the XML Forms builder, the application doesnt load.
Also, the content developed using XML forms are no longer displaying, instead I get an error message "<b>Resource cannot be displayed with XML Resource Renderer</b>"
I will appreciate any suggestion that will help to resolve this problem.
Thank you.

Xml images not displaying

I'm having an issue displaying images from an xml file. It's
a portfolio site, so basically it displays text and an image. All
the text is working just fine, but for some reason the image (and
the whole app) won't display when the image code is added.
Here's my code:
<mx:XML id=" portfolioXML"
source="portfolio.xml" />
<mx:XMLListCollection id="interActXMLList"
source="{ portfolioXML.interactive.label}" />
<mx:List id="interActList"
dataProvider="{interActXMLList}"
width="253" height="103" />
<mx:Number
id="selectedWorkIndex">{interActList.selectedIndex}</mx:Number>
<mx:Text
id="titleInput"
text="{ portfolioXML.interactive[selectedWorkIndex].title}"
width="446" />
<mx:Text
id="description"
text="{
portfolioXML.interactive[selectedWorkIndex].shortDesc}"
height="101" width="446" />

xml looks like this:
<portfolio>
<interactive>
<label>The Item</label>
<title>The Item Title</title>
<shortDesc>The item is totally
awesome.</shortDesc>
<image>
http://www.example.com/images/interactive/item.png</image>
</interactive>
</portfolio>
The url is correct (it works when I hard code it). Anyone
know why the images aren't working??

What happens if you use a text object to show the image path
above? Does
that still crash the app?
Also, try replacing the colon (:) in the XML with its url
encoded version

XML Dataset not displaying on any browser

I searched the last six or so pages for a simular issue and came up empty handed so please forgive me if I'm bringing up an old or repeated problem. I assume the issue I'm facing is the result of some small (or large) mistep on my end but have yet to figure it out.
When I created the xml data set from my local server i pulled the data from my database online using the php code for xml provided at adobe labs. You can see the example here: http://kannabooh.ty7.net/includes/xml_create.php. Everything was great and the data loaded in the preview. I created a Master Details Layout using the wizard but when I tested the page or uploaded to the site no data would appear. I've tried multiple browsers, versions and also reloading the data in multiple layout types with no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated you can see the example here: http://kannabooh.ty7.net/schedule.php.

So just so I understand you do see the template tags. Do you also see the data that is brought in from the file http://kannabooh.ty7.net/includes/xml_create.php because I see the tags but then when the page is completly loaded they disapear and are not replaced with the data I want loaded. Thats my main concern and I worry that its something I'm doing wrong because none of the browsers I'm using show that data. I see the field names that should be populated, their just not being populated. I hope that clears up my concerns.
Currently Im testing on both Windows XP and 7 on my test server I'm using PHP5. Hope that helps.

Some images not displaying in some browsers

Hi,
I'm creating a newsletter in Dreamweaver using the design view.
The finished thing works perfectly in Internet Explorer but when I view it in Firefox or Safari certain images are not displaying. There's no red cross or sign at all of why they're missing. They do however show as attachments at the bottom of the email.
The code appears to be fine and all the images were uploaded in the same way, so can't think why some won't appear while others will. The only thing the missing images have in common is that they're all left aligned so the text wraps around them.
I've been trying to fix this for ages and tearing my hair out. Any help greatly appreciated!!
Thanks.

Um, I can't seem to find it on the server, which can't be a good sign ) - :
Have no idea why it's not appearing where it should but if I can get a link to work I'll send it to you.
Thanks for your help

Navigation & Photo Page not displaying within some browsers

Hello,
I am using iWeb '08 and am having great difficulties trying to get my site cross browser compatible. The site is working perfectly on the Mac in Firefox 2 & Safari but not Firefox 3. It is also not displaying correctly in Firefox 2.0.0.13 and IE7 on my WinXP machine. Unfortunately the error is not just a cosmetic issue. The Main Navigation is not displaying on any page and only shows a bullet point where it is meant to be. The other error occurs in the Photo Template and the photos are not displaying. I am using a "Version 1 template" and did a test with a "version 2" template that provided the same errors.
Has anyone else had these problems???
The site is located at:

You have applied a height of "auto"to your menubar container, which gives it no height at all in some browsers. If you have a clue what height you would like to display for your menubar, give it, instead of:
    <div style="height: auto;" id="p7PMM_1" class="p7PMMh04">
Better yet, leave it in the CSS file, where you will find it when you go looking for it. You already assign a height there:
.p7PMMh04 {
    width: auto;
    height: 20px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 11px;
    font-weight: bold;
    background-image: url(http://home.roadrunner.com/~jgigandet/trinity/img/new_bk.gif);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    background-color: #000;
    text-align: left;
    line-height: normal;
Because your inline style of height:auto; has more proximity (is closer) to the element being styled, it overrides the style in the stylesheet and applies the height: auto; instead of allowing the height: 20px;

Bold text does not display in internet browsers

I am working on editing a website for a client that I did not originally create so I am having trouble trying to figure out what the previous designer did.
I need to make certain text within paragraphs bold, which I normally do by inserting <b> </b> tags. However when I do this in my coding, it does not display as bold in any of my internet browsers ... IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc.
Can someone please help me with this or suggest what I may have to change in my coding?
Thanks,

The reason it is happening is because the <strong> element is the child of an <em>, the <em> is in turn the child of a <p> tag and all of them are set to inherit the font attributes from thier parent tags. The first parent in the chain with a font setting is the <div> tag with the "left_column" class.
The "left_column" class tells all of those child tags to set their text as 14px, black, Arial due to the font:inherit.
The reset is meant to allow you to create css styles for all future tags without any default style being applied by the browser (as Rik suggests, creating the actual " strong {font-weight:bold;}" in your css would also do the trick). Since you don't specify any attributes for those tags other than "inherit your font styling from your parent", they take their attributes from the first parent element with an attribute.

7520 EWS NOT DISPLAYING ON MULTIPLE BROWSERS

We're trying to configure a static IP for our brand new 7520, to resolve firewall issues. We've carefully followed instructions, and the EWS will not display for our current printer IP. I see other people are experiencing the exact same difficulty. We get nothing but a blank EWS page on both Firefox and IE for Windows XP and our Verizon hotspot wireless router.
Come on, HP.

ALSO... although the printer is printing, it raises a printer error dialog before it prints. If you wait a few moments, the document will print. Nonetheless, you can hardly have faith in its software if it's producing spurious and annoying error messages at every turn.

WVC80N Video Stream not displaying on iOS6 browsers

I updated an iPhone and iPad to iOS6 yesterday. Now my Linksys WVC80N video streams will not display on both Safari and Chrome browsers.   On Safari if I go to the Camera "Home" page then use the browser Back button to the View Video page then I can get a still from the camera. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

I just checked the release note of this firmware 1.0.01. Perhaps, you can try another browser for isolation before updating the router. That might be a browser problem (maybe not supported yet).

JSTL unicode xml does not display after x:parse call

I am trying to display an xml file on the web using JSTL xml tags. The file is encoded in utf-8 containing ancient Greek characters (x1f92, etc.). The file displays properly from a servlet + xslt (http://163.1.169.41/testapp), but I want to use JSTL.
The JSTL produces intricate spaghetti on the screen (e.g. �� ). I have seen this before --it would seem that unicode is indeed being directed at the screen but is not being interpreted properly. (Not strings of question marks mind you; the unicode seems to be there in this case).
The code producing the spaghetti is below. I am just dumping in on the screen for now and will use xpath calls later for more precise extraction.
Does the JSTL want character entities for the x arse call? I would not think so: parsing a utf-8 file would be a very common operation. How can I get the xml unicode file to display properly using the JSTL below?
[headers]
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8"pageEncoding="utf-8" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="x" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/xml" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

<c:import var="papyrus" url="blabula.xml" />
<x:parse var="doc" xml="${papyrus}" />
<x:out select="$doc" />
....

Is it the parse or the import tag that is at fault?
Try just printing the results of the <c:import> and see what it produces.
you might try <c:import var="papyrus" url="blabula.xml" charEncoding="utf-8" />
