How to handle XML Special Characters?
I have some XML. The apostrophe and dashes don't display. Is there a way to handle it without resorting to & ?
It is the dash right after the underlined title. For the apostrophe, I went ahead and used ITSD's (for ITSD's). Just wondering if I have to that with every special character.
My XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<content>
<Branch>
<EA><![CDATA[ <u>Enterprise Architecture (EA)</u> - is
responsible for developing and administering the information
and technical architectural areas of ITSD through the
establishment of reference models and processes needed to
identify ITSD's current technical infrastructure standards
and strategic direction. Consultation is available but is not
limited to the following areas:
<li> Assist with architect and design information models and
technology solutions for complex systems.</li>
<li> Evaluation, selection, and guiding implementation of
new technology.</li>
<li> Analyze and evaluate computer hardware and software
(computer platforms, networks, operating systems, control
systems, proprietary software packages, telecommunications
software and database management software and related
tools).</li>

code snippet:
myXML = new XML(e.target.data);
trace(myXML);
strTextBox="<body>";
strTextBox+= myXML.Branch[0].EA;
strTextBox+="</body>";
myText.htmlText=strTextBox;
The display in the TextArea Component puts a little box in places where the dash and apostrophe are.
Thanks
