I am trying to parse some XHTML which apparently is XML compliant, using the 
following bit of vbscript

set xmlhttp = CreateObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.4.0")
set xmlDoc = CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0")

xmlhttp.Open "GET", "http://www.audioscrobbler.com/", false
xmlhttp.Send

res = xmlhttp.responsetext
xmldoc.validateonparse = false
xmldoc.resolveexternals = false

xmldoc.loadxml res

If (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) Then
   Dim myErr
   Set myErr = xmlDoc.parseError
   MsgBox(myerr.reason + "  " + myErr.srctext)
end if

But I keep getting the error:
Reference to undefined entitiy 'nbsp'

I have read about all sorts of solutions to this, but they typically involve 
getting rid of nbsp in some way or another in the source. Is there a way to 
solve it when you have no control over the source? ie. perhaps I could add 
the nbsp entity then append the xml somehow?

Also, when I set 'resolveexternals' to true, I get an error about 
'processing resource xhtml-strict.dtd' or something. The source document 
doesnt fully qualify the dtd to w3c.org, but is that necessary? It seems 
strange that w3c.org would be hit every single time an xml document is 
parsed...

Thanks for any help :)
