I must confess I only come here when I have a problem - so my apologies
if this has been raised before:
Using my IE v.6 browser, document.write doesn't convert HTML entities
(e.g. ', &) to the appropriate character (though NS 6.2 works
fine).
Obviously I can get round this for particular entities by writing some
code to do the conversion before using document.write - but I need a
more general solution that will catch any of the HTML entities.
A trawl with Google has found a number of people raising the question,
but no answers. Any suggestions?

IE6 doesn't convert ' to an apostrophe even when its hard-coded.
'test&apos ; in a test page, in NS7 displays 'test' while in IE6, it
displays as written. So its not the document.write thats failing, its the
browser itself in its HTML side. Note: It does convert © to the copyright
symbol, whether hard coded or document.write generated.

Many thanks for this - I should have experimented a little more before
asking.
Are there any other HTML entities that IE6 doesn't convert?

Seems to be a pretty good start. Not sure if its a "complete" list of all the
HTML Entities, its a list of whats in Emacs browser.
Some of those don't display in NS7 either.

Character entity references in HTML 4 http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/sgml/entities.html
"The named character reference ' (the apostrophe, U+0027) was
introduced in XML 1.0 but does not appear in HTML. Authors should
therefore use ' instead of ' to work as expected in HTML 4 user
agents."
C.16. The Named Character Reference ' http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/REC-xhtml1-20020801/#C_16
I tested
document.write( "& '");
in MSIE 6 SP2 for windows in an HTML 4.01 strict DTD and it worked
without a problem.
I then tested
document.write( "& '");
in MSIE 6 SP2 for windows in an XHTML 1.0 strict DTD and ' was not
converted into an '. \u0027 worked though.

I'm writting xml documents in french language. So i need to use special
characters like é and à. For this purpose i use HTML standard entities
like é.
But when i open my xml documents with my xml viewer an XML Parsing
Error(undefined entity) occur. It seems to me quite normal as entity
like é are not part of xml standard.
I found on google a file called iso-lat1.ent (part of DocBook project)
which defined all entities i need.

I have a block of html code that I want to run by calling a javascript

Hello guys,
I am looking for a parser in PHP that can return all the

have got a problem with reading attributes. So I will appreciate if you
could give a parser that can return all the Entities and Attributes of
respective entities as an array.
