Hi. Could somebody tell me how to add a filter to an external xml file? I am building a website that uses a XML datafeed from another website. I am using dreamweaver cs4 to build it. The company made an error in the XML file. Dreamweaver won't let me continue until the datafeed is error free. I tried to contact the company to let them know about the error, but I never got an answer. Downloading the file isn't an option because the datafeed is just over 640,000 lines of code. I was told that I should be able to fix the error myself by adding a filter. How would I go about doing that?

What type of errors are in the xml? Is it well-formed, but not matching schema? Does you application have the ability to handle this large of an xml file?

If it is not well-formed, call bs. The company is most likely lying to you, most likely out of ignorance.
