If your XML file is not very big or if you can simplify the xml to a few lines that still creates the error, please give us some more info to go on.

But, based on the error, it sounds like you have an xml file that does not have a high level root element. IE may not care if there is a root element.

Based on the error you might have a document that looks like this:

<level2> <!-- blah blah --> </level2>
<level2> <!-- blah blah --> </level2>


It may look like well formed xml, but there is no root element like this:


<top>
<level2> <!-- blah blah --> </level2>
<level2> <!-- blah blah --> </level2>
</top>


More info appreciated.


Thanks,
Dave

Hi;
I am getting the following error on well formed xml (for a final check I read the xml file with Internet Explorer and it is happy with it). Any ideas?
thanks - dave
