I am trying to parse an XML document that appears to be correct in syntax, but give this error. I am parsing by tag name getElementsByTagName(tag). This has worked fine until now.

Any thoughts.

Kind regards,

Andy

One of the Document authors, Göke, has an accented character in his name. It looks as if the creator of your xml encoded that character into a single byte, so I think you need to specify
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
in the xml header for your xml.

I missed that.

Thank you very much.

Andy
