jQuery + XML + IE = xmlDOM issue … or no??

Problem:
In the middle of the developing of a very complex script i figured out that IE was simply ignoring the xml documents i sent to it by ajax. Searching the web i’ve found this $.xmlDOM jQuery extension that is supposed to fix the IE issue with xmls. Although the extesion was clear and other people claims it work, it didn’t worked for me, how lucky is that?
Solution:
This took a while to solve, and i will skip all the boring process. Turns out that i didn’t needed the $.xmlDOM extension at all, the issue was on the xml. I’m developing this script in a language that has accents, i need to use `á` like html entities in order to avoid malfuncioning with data transport, so this little ampersand was breaking IE.
How nice is that?
