I'm sort of a newbie when it comes to programming for XML, and I'm having some problems with Cookbook and reading in certain characters from XML files using QDOM. Everything is fine until I try to use the characters åäöÅÄÖ. Writing to the XML files works, and if I check them out with a text editor they look fine - but I get errors when trying to read them - it says: fatal parsing error: unexpected character in line 2 fatal parsing error: error while parsing attribute value declaration in line 2 fatal parsing error: error while parsing attribute in line 2 fatal parsing error: error while parsing main element in line 2 This is the file in question: ÅÄÖ Do I need to escape these characters somehow? It seems like QDOM should take care of this automatically for me... shouldn't it? -David >> Visit http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
