Unable to open xml file created using for xml auto

  • Guys,

    I am getting the following error when I open a XML file.

    XML Parsing Error: not well-formed [Firefox]

    Missing equals sign between attribute and attribute value. Error processing resource [IE-8]

    This is how I created the XML file.

    I am using SQL Server 2000

    select group.groupId, group.groupname, row.hits

    from <table> as group inner join <table> as row

    on group.groupId = row.groupId

    for xml auto

    The above query executed from VB application, and the result set has been written to disk as a text file with extension ".xml".

    The output should be like this.

    <group groupId="1" groupname="All">

    <row hits="963510"/>

    < row hits="963510"/>

    < row hits="963510"/>

    < row hits="963510"/>

    < row hits="963510"/>

    < row hits="963510"/>

    </group>

    But, when I view the output thru notepad, it looks like below

    <group groupId="1" group="All"><row hits="963510"/>< row hits="963510"/><ro

    w hits="963510"/>< row hits="963510"/>< row hits="963510"/>< row hits="963510"/>

    </group>

    I think it is not well formatted.

    If you see the end of the first line, the character “w” has been moved to the next line. Due to this I am getting the above said error when I open the file from browser.

    Can anyone suggest me how to solve this?
