Identifier	#774
Issue type	Minor issue (breaks specific functionality)

Status	Completed
Handling member	Chris Graham
Version	9
Addon	General / Uncategorised
Description	AJAX snippet scripts could potentially fail with an error message. If this happens, the error message does not end up on the screen due to the snippet HTML containing an independent doctype and breaking the XML snippet parser. Additionally, some minor non-escaping is happening in some error messages that breaks the XML snippet parser.
Steps to reproduce
Funded?	No

A hotfix (a TAR of files to upload) have been uploaded to this issue. These files are made to the latest intra-version state (i.e. may roll in earlier fixes too if made to the same files) - so only upload files newer than what you have already. Always take backups of files you are replacing or keep a copy of the manual installer for your version, and only apply fixes you need. These hotfixes are not necessarily reliable or well supported. Not sure how to extract TAR files to your Windows computer? Try 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/).
