RE: AW: Problem parsing cp1252 with msxsl > UTF-8 ?

I had the same problem (in IE5) with portuguese characters like á, é, etc.
I had to use encoding="ISO-8859-1" so I can use them directly

I supose that's an error connected with the editor that might write them
using an encoding diferent than UTF-8

Hello,

yes, i understand, but why i get then in IE6 a parsing error ?
with
<?xml version="1.0"  encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<de>ü</de>

Is this a browser bug?

Thanks,

Hans Braumüller
