Hello Rahsmi, you can try to use a free hex editor:

Most of the answers so far seemed to indicate that theres a special BOM character that is "invisible" to most editors, that gets added to UTF-8 files I am struggling with this problem, I tried to change the encoding to UTF-8, UTF-16 and ISO but none of them seemed to solve the problem Does anyone know of a "real text editor" for Windows XP, which will allow me to see if there are any special characters before the prolog? heres my xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?> <test><value1>valuex</value1></test> heres my jsp: <%@ page language="java" %> <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"; %> <%@ taglib prefix="x" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/xml"; %> <html> <head> <title></title></head> <body> <c:import url="test5.xml" var="xml" charEncoding="US-ASCII"/> <x:parse doc="${xml}" varDom="doc" /> </body> </html> -Thank you --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
