Combobox load xml error character HI, I'm using the dhtmlxcombo with filtering mode, where i load the content trough a php file. However, i get the load xml error. when i open the php file. it indicates that whitespace is not allowed at this location. I only get this error in one string where the string contains the "&" character in the combo list. the following string indicates an whitespace error after the "&" character Aann.mij. De Vries & v.d. Wiel BV how to solve this problem? kind regards, Nasir Answer posted by Support on Mar 27, 2008 07:24 The & is prohibited by XML rules, it must be replaced with & There are two ways a) direct escaping <option value="123">Aann.mij. De Vries & v.d. Wiel BV </option> b) using CDATA <option value="123"><![CDATA[ Aann.mij. De Vries & v.d. Wiel BV ]]></option> Answer posted by Nasir on Mar 27, 2008 07:30 Thnx! it worked like a charm. Answer posted by Nasir on Apr 10, 2008 06:14 Hi, I'm again fasing a problem with illegal chracters in the combobox. I'm using filteringmode and loading data from a php file. The problem i'm fasing is that when i replace strings containing '&' with the & it does not show any load xml error however, when i submit the form it does not pass the option value. i tried checkking the following variable NAME_new_value, but it displays the value true. From what i have read this mean that the value typed does not match any item in the list. But in my case i select the option using the arrow keys which is already in the list. Can u please tell me what a possible soloution to this is? Thnx! Answer posted by Support on Apr 10, 2008 08:00 There are two possible solution a) use double escaping for & char in XML ( first escaping - to accommodate XML rules, second for correct HTML rendering ) <option value="4">A &amp; B</option> b) update dhtmlxcombo.js , comment line 197 value=value.replace(/&/g,"&") Answer posted by Nasir on May 14, 2009 01:27 Hi, I'm getting a load xml error when i enter a single quote in the dhtmlxcombo.

I use php file to load the data from the database. King regards, Nasir Answer posted by Alex (support) on May 14, 2009 02:10 There shouldn't be issues with this xml... Try to place the text into CDATA tag. Possibly it'll help: <option value="28"><![CDATA[ some text ' some text ]]></option> Answer posted by Nasir on May 14, 2009 02:21 It still doesn't seem to fix the problem.
