Not able to save a DCR

Hi,
We are getting below error while trying to save a DCR. We are not putting any special character but then also it is not getting saved.
Error:

Unable to save DCR , getting error “Save was unsuccessful. Unable to create a valid XMLDOMContext.”

Stack Trace:

org.w3c.dom.DOMException: INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: An invalid or illegal XML character is specified.
at org.apache.xerces.dom.CoreDocumentImpl.createElement(Unknown Source)
at com.interwoven.ui.datacapture.core.dcxp.XMLBuilderUtilities.createNode(XMLBuilderUtilities.java:85)

what could be the reason for this error.

Thanks

It says there is invalid character in your content, try fixing that.

Best way to do it is fill in mandatory fields in your DCT with simple content and save it, see if it works, you can pin point to one field where the error is occurring.

You may not see the bad character, depending on where it falls in the unicode range. The most common culprit is pasting from MS Word into rich text fields. E.g. once upon a time, I tracked one annoying blank character to a MS Word hyperlink that had a space as the title attribute, which for some inexplicable reason, was turned into a non-standard non-breaking space.

Are you using tiny mce, Just guess char might be in other language.. or the char is blank space in unicode (as rpoulin suggested)..

Agreed - highly likely that it's an invisible poorly formatted character. Try a file -> New Form Entry, fill out as little information as you can, and try saving then.

If it still fails, try removing any FormAPI/JS/include elements and try then.

You didn't specify if this was affecting new files only, or does it also affect existing files?

This issue got fixed. I was using number(360_degree) in the location and pathid attribute and when i changed that to degree then it worked.
