Finally I've managed to identify which elements to include in the template. I selected the ones defined as mandatory, and by including them in the sequence described by the DTD, I no longer get the "The sequence of child elements is incorrect" message.
I've got one more challenge. Some of the elements have attributes that require to be filled in for the document to be successfully validated by the parser. The parser displays the message 'attribute "type" has invalid value "": syntax error in NMTOKEN value "" [cvc-datatype-valid.1.2.1] [cvc-attribute.3]'. As a result, the validity indicator at the lower left corner of the XMLmind window is orange with a "x" in its centre. It seems that these attribute values needs to be collected from the user and included in the document instance of the template before it is parsed and displayed. Is there a way to achieve this? ---Sverre Original Message: ----------------- From: Hussein Shafie [email protected] Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 18:54:08 +0200 To: sverre.medalen at broadpark.no, xmleditor-support at xmlmind.com Subject: Re: [XXE] The sequence of child elements is incorrect sverre.medalen at broadpark.no wrote: > > Unfortunately, I do'nt have an existing document that conforms to the DTD.

You need to go as deep as needed to create a valid document template (by hand; using a text editor). You can validate your document template using command line tool (included in the distribution): dtdvalid -d mydtd.dtd myinstance.xml or just: dtdvalid myinstance.xml if myinstance.xml has the proper <!DOCTYPE>. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List xmleditor-support at xmlmind.com http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
