Hi XMLers, Here is a question that has been bugging me for quite some time: How can I specify (using entities, DTDs and whatever mechanism in XML 1.0 and without Schema) that I want to validate an XML document against a DTD, BUT I do NOT want validation on the content model of certain elements. Specifically, say I have an element named NonValidatedContainer and I want to use it to contain markup that I cannot predict ahead of time and therefore I do not have this variable markup specified in my DTD. <!ELEMENT NonValidatedContainer ???? > * If I use ANY as the content model for NonValidatedContainer , this is not what I want, since ANY means that the content model can be composed of ANY elements already in the DTD. * If I use (#PCDATA) for the content model for NonValidatedContainer this is also not what I want since I obviously cannot use markup underneath this element. I am interested in both programmatic solutions, at the DOM API level, as well as pure declarative XML solutions, or simply a negative answer -- "This is impossible".... A bonus question is: How is the same objective obtained using XML Schema? Thanks, Eliezer Eliezer Levy, Ph.D Tandem Labs Israel eliezer.levy@c... Tel +972 48323050 (ext. 209) Fax +972 48225006
