    Its more than likely a "special" character in one of your device status strings. I used to have a lot of problems with the movies script putting a ` in the string. I also believe a degree symbol will cause this exact same error.

      Where is the XML file that it is trying to parse when this error occurs?

          It is generated on the fly. Point your browser to:

          http://localhost:80/ultra_view2_xml.vbs

          If your HomeSeer web server is listening on a different port other than port 80, then change :80 to the correct port.

          See http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_encoding.asp for more information on XML encoding.

            I am confused!

            I am still getting the same error. I am not sure what character is causing the error. I am not sure where to look to see what is supposed to come after the CDATA[

            Can you help?

            Cheers,
            Bob

              I have read and read and cant find why my ultra status page does not display. I get this when running the .vbs file

              The XML page cannot be displayed
              Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

                An invalid character means a character within the XML document does not match the encoding attribute. Try some of the following encoding attributes by editing the ultra_view2_xml.inc file within the /HomeSeer/html/include directory.

                windows-1252
                ISO-8859-1
                UTF-8
                UTF-16

                I am currently using the top one.

                If changing the encoding method does not work, you will have to find and replace the invalid character. Using Interent Explorer 5 or greater, open the following URL:
                http://localhost/ultra_view2_xml.vbs

                It will tell you what character is causing the XML parser to choke.

                  I got a little farther this time. Here is what I get now. Not sure why:

                    I got it work finally, but once the icons are loaded onto my floor image, it messes up the look of the floor and cuts off the bottom of it.

                    See the attached picture:

                      Make sure you set the height and width of the floor image property within the ultra_view2.asp file. See the setup instructions for more details.

                        UltraJones,

                        Here is my line from the ultra_view2.asp file:

                        <img id="floor" border="0" src="firstfloor.gif" style="display: ; position: relative; left: 0; top: 0" width="743" height="1039">

                        When I used to get the XML parser error, it display the floor plan perfect. Now since I got the devices showing up on the floor plan, it screws up the image.

                        Not sure why would it would do this

                        Cheers,
                        Bob

                          Your Floor Plan is too large. Check the setup file "ultra view2 setup" for instructions. It sez no larger the 700 X 600.

                              Ok.. how do I go about finding line 136 position 29 .. do I just open the ultra_view2_xml.inc file in notepad and count down 126 lines ?
                              I believe that it has something to do with the temperature in my city "<STRING><![CDATA[Winnetka64 " ???
