xml parsing error - help

[Adenoid Hynkel]

This is my error :

XML Parsing Error at 1:988. Error 4: not well-formed (invalid token)

Now what and where is 1:988. Error 4? How can I find out where the error is coming form or what xml file is causing that?

Googled my butt off, no solution helped, shame on you google
Can anybody help me out

Doesn't that mean line 1, character 988? There are tools which can tell you whether your xml is well formed and whats wrong with it. Perhaps try this if you know what the xml is going to look like.

First of all, is this for a web application or a desktop application? In what language is the application coded? Do you have the source-code to debug it? Do you have the necessary TOOLS to debug the code with? So many questions...

Language is php.
It is a web application. First one coded by my self and for my self

I have deleted all xml files (8 in total) and recreated them, error gone

While we at it, what debug tools can you recommend? I used this online site to check my xml files for errors, funny enough, the site did not find any.

Sounds to me you used IE. Don't. 99.99% of the time IE doesn't give you a proper error message.
Could be data. Remember to & your ampersands in XML etc.

I only use IE when I really have to
The error message was displayed in all browers the same, except in opera the page did not load at all.
