Sorry for coming in on this late, but I can't get (a variant of) the example to work. The xml is: <?xml version="1.0"?> <Tester colour="dark red" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="D:\andyp\xml\tester.xsd"> <dummy>hello world</dummy> </Tester> The xsd: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema"> <xsd:simpleType name="colours"> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string"> <xsd:enumeration value="red"/> <xsd:enumeration value="dark red"/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> <xsd:element name="Tester"> <xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element name="dummy" type="xsd:string"/> </xsd:sequence> <xsd:attribute name="colour" type="colours"/> <xsd:attribute name="xsi:schemaLocation" type="xsd:string"/> <xsd:attribute name="xmlns:xsi" use="default" value="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema" type="xsd:uriReference"/> <xsd:attribute name="xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation" type="xsd:string"/> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:element> </xsd:schema> Using XMLSpy 3.5b1 the xsd is fine, but the xml gives the error (on line 2): "Unexpected choice 'dark red' for attribute 'colour': (red|dark|red) expected. What am I doing wrong (I've included everything in case I've missed something blindingly obvious)? There's not much about this topic on the web, but there must be loads of uses - my need is actually to limit an element to a set of names, and that must be quite common.Received on Wednesday, 6 December 2000 09:59:24 GMT
