Hello again.
I'm having trouble validating an xml file I've created against an xsd I've
made. I'm trying to use a modular design in my XML Schema so that I can get
reuse out of elements I've defined. I'm using XMLSpy Home as my validation
tool.
When I attempt to validate my xml document, I'm getting the message that
it's hitting an unexpected element. Ironically, the unexpected element is in
fact the element it should be expecting. I believe the problem may be
related to namespace (which I'm not very good with).
Can anyone help me with this, or point me in the direction of a page that
might help? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Darren
