[xmljs-users] xmlUnescapeHTMLToXML problem in Mozilla 1.5 and 1.6

[James S. E. <jam...@co...>]

From the Desk of James S. ElkinsDavid,

      I'm having a strange problem with xmlIOLoadLocalData in Mozilla 1.5
and 1.6. It's strange because it's happening in one application I've
written, but not in another. Here's what's happening:

      My PHP server application escapes XML as follows:

      $xml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" ?>"
               . " <personal-agent
member=\"".$this->member->get_handle()."\"
messages=\"".$this->new_messages."\" alerts=\"".$this->alerts."\"
posts=\"".$this->new_posts."\"
events=\"".$this->events."\"></personal-agent>";
      $xml = str_replace('<',chr(171),$xml);
      $xml = str_replace('>',chr(187),$xml);
      $xml = str_replace('&',chr(167),$xml);

      In Internet Explorer 6, xmlUnescapeHTMLToXML correctly unescapes this
as follows (for example):

      <?xml version="1.0" ?>
      <personal-agent member="member_name" messages="1" alerts="0" posts="5"
events="0"></personal-agent>

      In Mozilla, however, xmlUnescapeHTMLToXML returns this:

      <?xml version="1.0" ?<
      <personal-agent member="member_name" messages="1" alerts="0" posts="5"
events="0"<</personal-agent<

      In other words, it unescapes both greater-than and less-than symbols
as less-than sysmbols. Any ideas what might be causing this?

      Thanks,
      James
