Purple Hazard

I normally use Firefox so I never knew of this problem and I don’t know how long it’s been there.

When I try to view my Feed in IE I get this error:

Internet explored cannot display this feed.

This feed contains errors.

Under more information I get this :

A string literal was expected, but no opening quote character was found.
 Line: 253 Character: 17

I did some Googling and noticed that a few people expierienced the same error. I tried all the fixes:

1. Remove blank lines after starting and ending tags.

   I downloaded Fix Rss Feed. It found 1339 out of place blank lines and fixed it. Feed still not working.

2. XML Parsing

   Did a quick validation of my feed and got a few errors. Was told to use LibXml2 Fix.

3. Problem with IE:

 Tried to fix IE and not WP.

Steps :

1. Press “alt” key when in IE7 if you don’t have “Menu Bar” always visible and then click on “Tools/Internet Options”
2. Activate “Advanced” tab
3. in the “Settings” box scroll down to the “Security” section
4. uncheck “Enable native XMLHTTP support”
5. hit “Apply” button and restart IE7

If anyone could help me out please do so! I know some other people with the same problem.

Note: Feeds work perfectly in Firefox, Opera and Chrome, just not IE. It seems to be IE not accepting XML with any errors. So they say.

Update: I got the fix. View it here.

Tip:  When you have a problem like this, never go all out and start changing random things. This is how you I messed up my frontpage.
