[opencms-dev] JavaScript problem solved

Fri Sep 26 10:58:00 CEST 2003

I appreciate the insight. I have not used Xerces as much as Jdom and I have
not had to deal with multiple languages so I can imagine there are issues I
am not aware of.

It's more because Xerces XML parser requires the setting. If you use
languages other then english they have all kinds of funny chars like e.g.
äöüÄÖÜß that must be displayed correctly.
