This is a bug that has already been reported by a customer. We'll try to fix it. I just hope that it is not a bug in JavaHelp[TM]. > When editing .XXE configuration files with XMLmind you're tempted to > fill in the value for a "location" attribute the following way: > > Open the "Attribute" tab of the tabbed pane at the right. > Click in the location-attribute field of the attribute list > displayed in the upper part of the attribute pane, so that the > "attribute" and "value" input fields in the lower part get > activated / filled. > Click on the "Browse file" button and select a file from the > selection dialog popping up. > This builds an entry in the input field of type drive:\dir\....... > \dir\filename.ext which is not a valid "File-URL". > Clicking on the "Ok" button copies that string to the > location-value field of the upper pane > Save the XMLmind-Configuration-File changed this way. > Restarting XMLmind editor, an error panel comes up saying "errors > found in configuration files" pointing to the location attribute > in the configuration file edited in the prior steps, saying > "missing or invalid attribute >>>location<<<" * If you *right-click* on the Browse button, a popup menu allows you to specify a file: URL instead of a file name. * You do not have to restart XXE. Simply use "Options|Reload All Configurations". * We didn't find a way to make XML-Schema of XXE configuration file stricter for the location attribute. Currently location type is xs:anyURI and there is not much to check in a xs:anyURI. If a regexp wizard has a regexp that checks that a location is a legal absolute or *relative* file:, http:, ftp: or https: URL, we'll take it. > And finally: In order to nicely display XML files directly in a browser, > for example Mozilla which has the best CSS styling support for XML, it is > necessary to have a processing instruction like > > <?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="some-URL"> > > in the XML source.

OK. Added this option to the wish list.
