is the "&" sourounded by spaces?

so you could do replace(myXML, " & ", "&")?**

or if not

<cfscript>
// park all legit ones with a sentinal value
replace(myXML, "&amp;", "X_SENTINALVALUE_X")
// replace all breaking & with the real thing
replace(myXML, "&", "&amp;" )
// return the real things from the sentinal value
replace(myXML, "X_SENTINALVALUE_X", "&amp;" )
xmlParse(myXML)
</cfscript>


** is that the correct argument order? can't remember... Livedocs
