Title: why does hyperpsin say my xml is invalid?
Post by: shateredsoul on November 12, 2010, 01:22:55 pm

I'm making a wheel just for Mega man games, it was working fine until I added in Nintendo DS games.  Now it says that it's an invalid xml.  I had this issue before as well, turned out I had a missing ">" somewhere.  I can't seem to find the issue this time. Does anyone with good eyes see something wrong with my xml?

The biggest difference I saw was that there were numbers in some of the DS games names but not their descriptions.  Do the game name & description have to match exactly?  Are special characters like ( ) - allowed?

Maybe you could delete the ds games and them one by one and check to see if they work.

line 348, you are missing a closing </game> tag, after your last nintendo DS game.

Nice catch Vanilla! I also had some game listed with two "exe"s, after fixing both those things it works like a charm again.

Thanks!

You do realize that any time you are having an issue with an XML you can open it with Internet Explorer.  It will show you where errors are within the XML tags.  Unfortunately this is about one of the only things that Internet Explorer is useful for...

No I didn't realize that, thanks! next time I'll do that.
