XML documents should be well-formed for them to be parsed. You might want to correct the "feed", if possible. Some of the characters that lead to an invalid xml document are... Invalid : Replace < : < > : > & : & " : " ' : ' Example <Author>Dietel & Dietal</Author> Here "&" should be replaced with "&" for a valid xml doc. I thought isXmlDoc() would check for xml doc validity, am curious..what this function really does. Anyways you can try somthing like. <cffile action="read" file="E:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\books.xml" variable="books"> <cfoutput> <cftry> <cfset oDoc=xmlParse(books)> valid xml doc!.<br> #odoc.Books.Book[1].Title.XmlText#<br> <cfcatch type="any"> xml document not valid!.<br> </cfcatch> </cftry> </cfoutput> Hope this helps.
