I'm trying to create a search for the Canadian Tire site. I went to the
home page, clicked in the search box and used the DQSD Search Wizard.
I've attached what it created. I see that a bunch of the form fields
contain "<>" in the field name. Some were encoded (I assume) by the
wizard, but not all. Of course when I try to reload the deskbar, it
throws an error because these characters are not allowed in a field
name. I tried changing them all to "<>", but that didn't help
either. Any ideas on how I can get around this problem?
Thanks!
Sarah

Even though this XML search will probably load and is a good start
toward a completed search, please be aware that this search will probably
not work as is and will probably require some changes.
