XML Sitemap & Bad Code ?
« on: May 13, 2014, 10:16:39 PM »

I've been creating sitemaps with XML Sitemap Generator, and have been downloading them to edit on my pc.  The sitemaps work fine when viewing in a browser, but when I download and open in Dreamweaver, the urls don't work when I cut and paste them in the Firefox URL bar.  I notice the codes are different.  For example, an "&" is produced like this..."&".  Extra characters are inserted, producing the error.

I was wondering if this is normal, because as I said, the map works fine when viewing online.

Thank you very much for the reply and for the link.  I understand now this is the way it's supposed to be coded, and that symbols like "&", must be scripted as "&" in sitemap to comply with the sitemap protocol, so the code is all good.  I apologize for the misunderstanding, and thus far I'm loving your product!
