I did it this way: NSXMLDocument* theDoc = [[[NSXMLDocument alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString] options:NSXMLDocumentTidyXML error:&err] autorelease]; NSData* xmlData = [theDoc XMLData]; NSXMLParser* parser = [[[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithData:xmlData] autorelease]; [parser setDelegate:self]; [parser parse]; I tried an earlier suggestion of saving the data to a file and then running tidy on it. tidy reported about 300 errors. That gave me the idea to try using NSXMLDocument, since it has the tidyXML option. This works perfectly under both 10.5 and 10.5. I'll try what you suggest above, just to see what happens, but I'm happy again.
