No, it appears you were right, dropping the timezone tag didn't help, now I've gotten rid of the error (I introduced syntax error in taking out the timezone tag), I'm getting the XML parse error again. So no change, basically.
No, don't worry, the nastiness was all mine. I just didn't (and still don't) appreciate "advice" that is clearly negated by the detail given in the question, and has no basis in reality. All answers like that tend to do is stop other people who may understand the problem or have an actual answer for it from responding (or even reading the post, as it appears to be answered already). So, if you, or anyone else out there who HAS read this thread has any advice on why that posted code (with and without the <xml> and <feed> tags) always results in an XML parse error, I'd appreciate any comments. Is there something wrong with the parameters collection that I'm passing in to makeRequest? Or anything specific wrong with the xml for the entry tag? Anything else that I haven't thought to check? To clarify, the code building my XML data is currently as follows: (commented code left in to show what else has been tried) var newCal = ''; // newCal = newCal + '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'; // newCal = newCal + '<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";'; // newCal = newCal + 'xmlns:openSearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearchrss/1.0/";'; // newCal = newCal + 'xmlns:gCal="http://schemas.google.com/gCal/2005";'; // newCal = newCal + 'xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005";>'; // newCal = newCal + '<updated>2009-08-06T12:25:03.873Z</updated>'; // newCal = newCal + '<category scheme="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind";'; // newCal = newCal + 'term="http://schemas.google.com/gCal/2005#calendarmeta"/>'; newCal = newCal + '<entry xmlns=\'http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\''; newCal = newCal + ' xmlns:gd=\'http://schemas.google.com/g/2005\''; newCal = newCal + ' xmlns:gCal=\'http://schemas.google.com/gCal/2005\'>'; newCal = newCal + ' <title type=\'text\'>P-Budget</title>'; newCal = newCal + ' <summary type=\'text\'>This calendar was created for the Cal-Budget iGoogle gadget.</summary>'; // newCal = newCal + ' <gCal:timezone value=\'Europe/London\'></gCal:timezone>'; newCal = newCal + ' <gCal:hidden value=\'false\'></gCal:hidden>'; newCal = newCal + ' <gCal:color value=\'#2952A3\'></gCal:color>'; //newCal = newCal + ' <gCal:settingsProperty name=\'dateFieldOrder\' value=\'YMD\'/>'; //newCal = newCal + ' <gCal:settingsProperty name=\'format24HourTime\' value=\'true\'/>'; //newCal = newCal + ' <gCal:dateFieldOrder value=\'YMD\'></gCal:dateFieldOrder>'; //newCal = newCal + ' <gCal:format24HourTime value=\'true\'></gCal:format24HourTime>'; newCal = newCal + ' <gd:where rel=\'\' label=\'\' valueString=\'London, Eng, United Kingdom\'></gd:where>'; newCal = newCal + '</entry>'; // newCal = newCal + '</feed>'; Rich Sent from London, Eng, United Kingdom On Fri, Aug 7, 2009 at 19:19, Ray Baxter<[email protected]> wrote: > Dropping the timezone tag is unnecessary.
