javascript - Error processing resource while parsing KML with '°' symbol in IE -

i trying parse kml file contains data degree symbol , ie cannot recognize symbol. need either replace degree symbol hash code or have escape character. have verified lot of links non of them worked me.`

geoxml3.fetchxml = function (url, callback) {   function timeouthandler() {     geoxml3.log('xhr timeout');     callback();   };    var xhrfetcher = new object();   if (!!geoxml3.fetchers.length) {     xhrfetcher = geoxml3.fetchers.pop();   } else {     if (!!window.xmlhttprequest) {       xhrfetcher.fetcher = new window.xmlhttprequest(); // browsers     } else if (!!window.activexobject) {       xhrfetcher.fetcher = new window.activexobject('microsoft.xmlhttp'); // ie     }   }    if (!xhrfetcher.fetcher) {     geoxml3.log('unable create xhr object');     callback(null);   } else {       xhrfetcher.fetcher.open('get', url, true);       if (xhrfetcher.fetcher.overridemimetype) {         xhrfetcher.fetcher.overridemimetype('text/xml');       }       xhrfetcher.fetcher.onreadystatechange = function () {       if (xhrfetcher.fetcher.readystate === 4) {         // retrieval complete         if (!!xhrfetcher.xhrtimeout)           cleartimeout(xhrfetcher.xhrtimeout);         if (xhrfetcher.fetcher.status >= 400) {           geoxml3.log('http error ' + xhrfetcher.fetcher.status + ' retrieving ' + url);           callback();         } else {           // returned           var xml = geoxml3.xmlparse(xhrfetcher.fetcher.responsetext);           if (xml.parseerror && (xml.parseerror.errorcode != 0)) {            geoxml3.log("xml parse error "+xml.parseerror.errorcode+", "+xml.parseerror.reason+"\nline:"+xml.parseerror.line+", position:"+xml.parseerror.linepos+", srctext:"+xml.parseerror.srctext);            xml = "failed parse"           } else if (geoxml3.isparseerror(xml)) {            geoxml3.log("xml parse error");            xml = "failed parse"           }           callback(xml);         }         // we're done fetcher object         geoxml3.fetchers.push(xhrfetcher);       }     };     xhrfetcher.xhrtimeout = settimeout(timeouthandler, geoxml3.xhrtimeout);     xhrfetcher.fetcher.send(null);   } }; 

this code using parse kml file. work fine in other browser not in ie

your kml invalid.
