Re: FN-FORUM XML problems

Hi Norman,
I happened to be studying this at the moment and I think I have the answer.
XML uses something called ENTITY replacement, where the word after the
ampersand '&' is replaced with text from the DTD (data Type Document) which
accompanies the code.

basically it looks like this...
&word;
so your code should read..

nID=22&topicID;=7&topicName;=Something&conversationName=Buy+to+Let">Have
your
say on this article


where the word that is ampersanded is replaced ( like a function call that
replaces the call with one word or sentance or another batch of code)
I have not however come across as yet, the way it is used here (ie: with an
'=' sign.)
so I apologise if it still does not work.

Let me know
