Thank you all. I got the idea now. Since String in Java is already in Unicode (and not in ISO-8859-2), parser doesn't simply ignore the encoding setting (simply put it in DOM tree without any consequences), but complains about it. I wanted to use this setting in order to preserve original and final encoding in the overall structure of XML document, but it seems that I'll have to find some way aroun (most probably use load()). Thank you all again. I wish you all the best, Marko. -----Original Message----- From: Hunter, David [mailto:dhunter@M...] Sent: Monday, September 13, 1999 5:47 PM To: 'Marko Zerdin'; 'Chris Lovett' Cc: 'xml-dev@i...' Subject: RE: MSXML for Java Questions The problem is that loadXML() in MSXML takes only Unicode strings, whereas load() will take strings in any character set (as long as it's specified). If you take that same XML and load it into MSXML using the load() method, you should find that it will work fine. The trick is that you have to either a) make sure any text you pass to loadXML is Unicode. This is easier if you use a language like Visual Basic, which uses all Unicode strings internally; this means that any text you generate using VB can be passed to load() no problem, without specifying the encoding. OR b) pass any XML which isn't Unicode to load() instead of loadXML(), and specify the encoding explicitly. It can sometimes take a bit of planning to get these issues straight.

Subject: RE: MSXML for Java Questions OK. Here is XML that I sent in my first mail at the beginning of the thread: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?> <Document> <Structures> <BankAccountInfo> <BankNumberCode>value</BankNumberCode> <BankAccountTypeID>value</BankAccountTypeID> <BankAccountPart1>value</BankAccountPart1> <BankAccountPart2>value</BankAccountPart2> <BankAccountPart3>value</BankAccountPart3> </BankAccountInfo> </Structures> <Messages> <Transactions> <t_Transaction> <CashAccount> <BankAccountInfo> <BankNumberCode>value</BankNumberCode> <BankAccountTypeID>value</BankAccountTypeID> <BankAccountPart1>value</BankAccountPart1> <BankAccountPart2>value</BankAccountPart2> <BankAccountPart3>value</BankAccountPart3> </BankAccountInfo> </CashAccount> </t_Transaction> </Transactions> </Messages> </Document> When I pass this as an argument into the method DOMDocument.loadXML(String), I get following error: line 1, column 44: Switch from current encoding to specified encoding not supported. That's it. This is actually the only problem I had with this parser. I didn't really work with some very complicated XML, and I didn't even touch XSL yet, so I don't know what's waiting for me in the future. If anybody knows for other "features" of IE5 parser, I would appreciate any information. Wish you all the best, Marko. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
