Hello, 
   
  I have already searched on the Internet and this mailing list for an answer to this error message:
   
  [Fatal Error] jstl::1:1: Content is not allowed in prolog.
   
  Most of the answers so far seemed to indicate that theres a special BOM character that is "invisible" to most editors, that gets added to UTF-8 files
   
  I am struggling with this problem, I tried to change the encoding to UTF-8, UTF-16 and ISO but none of them seemed to solve the problem
   
  Does anyone know of a "real text editor" for Windows XP, which will allow me to see if there are any special characters before the prolog?
   
   
  heres my xml:
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
<test><value1>valuex</value1></test>
   
  heres my jsp:
  <%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="x" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/xml" %>
<html>
  <head>
      <title></title></head>
  <body>
    <c:import url="test5.xml" var="xml" charEncoding="US-ASCII"/>
     <x:parse doc="${xml}" varDom="doc" />
  </body>
</html>
   
  -Thank you
