Thread: [Xsltforms-support] XForm fail in IE6 fails with comments with I18N characters (and XPath handling

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

2 problems:

1) A xform with comments containing non-ASCII UTF-8 characters (greek
for instance)
prevents the xform from compiling in IE6 (currently cannot try ie 7 & 8).

2) In another similar issue in IE (6 & 7, 8 not tested),
i found problems when XPath handles text containing non-ASCII chars,
resulting into html-escaped-entities presented into the user.

I can work-arround these issues by avoiding placing I18N text directly
into XPath expressions,
and entering them into instance-doc nodes instead.

Both problems reported against rev383, IE6 (not tested with IE 7 & 8)
I apologize for not attempting to investigate when this issue was
firstly introduced.

The next 2 xforms, demonstrate both problems.
(Note that they contain greek characters, so they must be copied
verbatim from the mail text or use the attached ones)
