“The XML page cannot be displayed” error reported by the IE Browser after SQABasic StartBrowser command being executed.

Troubleshooting


Problem

“The XML page cannot be displayed” error reported by the IE Browser after SQABasic StartBrowser command being executed. As a workaround use an XML Preprocessor directive in the beginning of the XML file

Cause

The StartBrowser command has been used to launch an XML file for validation.
In this particular case it appears that an international characters has been used in the XML file. For example the French character 'é'. These types of characters can cause problems if you try to use them in an XML document.

Resolving The Problem

It is possible to use characters like this (and many other languages) by telling the XML parser that the XML document supports "international" characters. You do that by using an XML Preprocessor directive in the beginning of the XML file.

Add the following line to the beginning of your XML document in notepad:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>


The ISO-8859-1 is a standard codepage that contains many international characters.
