Re: [flexcoders] Encoding XML Character Entity References *properly*

[Peter Valdemar Mørch]

Hi, I didn't get any replies, so here is a polite bump...

My question is basically this: How do I create an XML node with a
toXMLString() value of:

<value>a &lt;foo&gt;string&lt;/foo&gt;/&amp;</value>

from a value of

var value:String = "a <foo>string</foo>/&";

Is this really something one is expected to code by hand using RegExp
or split&join? Isn't this something everybody who needs to send /
recieve XML needs to be safe? I just can't find it anywhere.

Also, I wrote:

> which is not the same thing. (For "a&b" I want "a&amp;b", not
> "a%26b).

Sorry if this offended anyone. I didn't mean to be rude.
