Re: [xmljs-users] Atom Feeds and Encoding

[David J. <dj...@ya...>]

Hi Brent,

namespace:
	something is horked here, but I don't know what it is yet. For the time being, you can probably
get past this by turning namespace support off. It doesn't look like atom feeds really use
namespaces all that much, so I doubt that will impact your code at all. To turn namespace support
off, you set the namespaceAware property of the DOMImplementation node to false - like this:

var parser = new DOMImplementation();
parser.namespaceAware = false;

That got me past the exception and I was able to parse the XML properly...


encoding:
	XML for script shouldn't have a problem here. I did a check on the rss feed and the server isn't
specifying an encoding. Is it possible that Konfabulator is goofing up the string before xmljs
gets it? When I load the XML from that data source, Konqueror loses the accents also. However,
Firefox does not. Just to make sure xmljs was OK, I stripped the XML from that source down to the
bare minimum that had the accented characters. I then fed that XML into xmljs in Firefox and
looked at the DOM tree. The accents were still there.

At this point, I'm not sure what really to do about the encoding issue. I do have a battered G3
Powerbook that I can use for further debugging, but I've never used Konfabulator and don't really
have a lot of time to learn it. Do you have any suggestions?

Please let me know if the namespaceAware property gets you going. I'll try to look at the
exception in the next couple of days and see if I can get you a real fix...


Best regards,

David
