[OpenLayers-Users] IE: OpenLayers.Format.GML read() Breaks with special chars

[DiegoFreelance]

version: Openlayers 2.11

Hi Andreas, or anybody,

I have a code that requests wfs files from mapserver,(reading dbf and shp
files)
it works OK in FF / Chrome, 
it fails in IE (tested in IE8), when there are special chars in the dbf file
(some spanish characters). 

IE error says: "Object Required" in Openlayers2.11/Openlayers.js, line 939


Code:
######################################

oGML =  new OpenLayers.Format.GML.v3(); 
oFeatures = oGML.read(response.responseText); /*<-- HERE THE CODE STOPS, in
the read() method ***/
######################################




This is a xml response I get from FF (this works OK) :

...And so on...

Any advice on how to solve this error in IE??? (without having to change the
special chars? ) (they are utf-8 compatible)
