Re: [U2] [OT] My XML is Chinese!?!
It's not as much for editing XML, which I use a different editor for. But more to verify what is being displayed in IE is what was sent, since IE tweeks and consolidates XML Before it displays it during it's validation. (ie. it will change to I use IE for because it's quicker to test xml files that are not local to the computer and are online.

Re: [U2] [OT] My XML is Chinese!?!
Ok partially solved this. I changed the program that IE11 uses to edit html from default to notepad And now it works - displays in English However, when I went back to change back to default - default wasn't an option Wonder if this was something from when I last upgraded (if you can call it that) from IE10 to EI11 Oh well... -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of George Gallen Sent: Friday, May 09, 2014 10:05 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] [OT] My XML is Chinese!?! OKI've got a strange thing happening on my Win 7 IE 11 If I use IE 11 to open an XML file - it renders fine - no problems. BUT...if I right click and choose View Source - all I see are Chinese characters? I know the XML is plain text and no extended codes And it only happens on my machine, if I use another PC same setup (except IE 9) It shows English when you view Source HTML renders fine, and View Source for HTML displays English. My XML declaration line looks like: Firefox view source displays English, as does Chrome and Safari - It's just IE11 doing it.

Re: [U2] [OT] My XML is Chinese!?!
Another point to make about IE. It renders the XML in a nice and clean format but it is NOT exactly what is in the XML file. I often use IE to look at XMLs quickly but to see what is REALLY in the file, I also use NotePad++. In fact, I am doing this stuff right now for issues in Panama.
