  Blackberry Browser Issue… Error encountered during XML parse: expecting a name

  Jan 27, 2012 08:15 AM|LINK

  I am creating a Mobile website using Asp.net and i am facing a XML related issue in BB Browser I am using a Repeater control on my form and the data which is binding the repeater control contains ampersand "&" and it leads to an issue on BlackBerry Browser.... Below is the issue of the image.

  After searching on the issue i figure out "ampersand" is the issue so how to handle "&" in data. The Repeater contains Vendor name which is " A & B " so it leads to crash

  An ampersand & must be encoded in xml as & (not related to BB only). Try to validate your document at http://validator.w3.org.

  It should work like this. The issue with & was about XML.
