I am new to XML. From my understanding the data between the tags is a string that can be in any format.
I am laying out a XSLT file when I find an error in the XML file.
Below is the code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<inventory>
<name>Inventory Account Totals</name>
<dategen>3/10/2005 3:00pm</dategen>
<enddate>3/10/2005</enddate>
<parts>
<item>
<account>121.006</account>
<desc>Inv - Parts - Briggs & Stratton</desc>
<total>$1,096.92</total>
</item>
<item>
<account>121.005</account>
<desc>Inv - Parts - Cub Cadet</desc>
<total>$2,432.05</total>
</item>
<parttotal>$3,500</parttotal>
</parts>
<units>
<item>
<account>121.006</account>
<desc>Inv - Parts - Briggs & Stratton</desc>
<total>$1,096.92</total>
</item>
<item>
<account>121.005</account>
<desc>Inv - Parts - Cub Cadet</desc>
<total>$2,432.05</total>
</item>
<unittotal>$3,500</unittotal>
</units>
</inventory>
Here is the error:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

<desc>Inv - Parts - Briggs & Stratton</desc>

Why is this? Is it because of the "&"? I would like to think not. THis will majorly limit what I can do as all of this info is generated dynamically from a database. And I can not filter through everything checking for certain chars. I thought what ever is between an opening and closing tag is safe except of course < > = !=
Any thoughts?
Thank you for any help.
