A viewer of my website has reported an error when using IE 5.0 for Mac. He
gets the error "An error occurred parsing the XML file". The details and
source can be found in the forwarded message that I've included. The
document is also online:

 http://www.lw-oasis.org/aon/tjoh/title.htm

I don't have access to a Mac right now to play with this. I've validated
the document with the W3C validator and so I'm now at a loss about what to
do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Hi...

Hi,

I'm not sure if you remember, but some time ago I contacted you about a
problem I was having with book 8: jungle of horrors. When I try to open the
file, through either HTML or through statskeeper, an error message comes up
saying: "An error occurred parsing the XML file".

I run the program on both my iMac (233mhz, 128 RAM, Mac OS9.1, IE 5.0) and
my Powerbook (400mhz, 192 RAM, Mac OS9.1, IE 5.0). I believe last time you
recommended I update IE, but as far as I can tell, 5.0 is the latest one
available for Mac OS9. IE 5.1 requires MacOSX, which I don't have.

When I push the source button it appears exactly as below;
