Feed problem
Jun 26th, 2007, 1:49pm  
I'm having problems to parse the rss feed with the Microsoft's XML Parser. And IE 7 cannot read it. This is the piece:
Code:

i managed to get it validated but not to remove all warnings (mostly due to wrong character encodings and html-entities). will take another stab at it once i have the time .. let me know if it works for you now.

continues here (bug report):

Yep, it runs fine now! I still have problems parsing it, but it's a source-code problem. If IE7 accepts the feed it means that there's a way for the MS XML parser.
Many thanks Florian.
