Re: ampersant in Xerses

Hi Pierpaolo

I am still having this problem with DOMParser.   I set the feature as shown:
p.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/create-entity-ref-nodes",false);
"Love & Sweetness" is converted to "Love Sweetness".  When I traverse the DOM there
is only one child node with the text "Love Sweetness".  On the other hand & in the file
seems to work now.  Any ideas would be appreciated

cheers
Jim
