I am trying to write my own schemas using the Xml-data
schema provided by Microsoft. I use the following lines
<Schema xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data"
xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes">
to refer to the XML-data. When I try to use the validation
feature, for example put a string to an element whose type has been declared
as an int, I cannot see an error from IE5. Shouldn't I?
No. Validation is switched off when loading an XML
document into IE5. You need to create the parser object, set "validateOnParse"
to TRUE and then load the document to get the validation working. And this
actually only works for document.load, not for
document.loadXML.
So, I feel that my schema cannot use the features of the
XML-data of Microsoft. HAS ANYBODY USED MICROSOFT'S XML-DATA WITHOUT ANY
PROBLEM?
Yes, see above.
If so, HOW?
I would be very glad to hear some opinions, because I am
working on my project for the university and it is very urgent to know
whether or not I can use the XML-data technology is writing
schemas.
Yes, you can, it's just not as easy as it
might be. For instance you can use Microsoft's XML notepad and
configure it to "validateOnParse". You will then get the validation error
you are looking for when loading a document...
