Hello Eric, That's wrong. Loading WFS-layers from MapServer with OpenLayers works with FF and IE.

This a must-have for me too as it seems that there's no way to read an ISO-8859-1 encoded XML file using Internet Explorer's ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM") javascript object. More concretely, OpenLayers WFS cannot read ISO-8859-1 encoded GML documents served by MapServer WFS! -- Eric
