simple xml question

[Howard.Kidd@syntegra.bt.co.uk]

I am a virgin xml user and having a bit or trouble with what I believe
must be a simple process


If I take this sample xml straight from the w3 sebsite

<<<<
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<shipOrder>
  <shipTo>
    <name>Tove Svendson</name>
    <street>Ragnhildvei 2</street>
    <address>4000 Stavanger</address>
    <country>Norway</country>
  </shipTo>
  <items>
    <item>
      <title>Empire Burlesque</title>
      <quantity>1</quantity>
      <price>10.90</price>
    </item>
    <item>
      <title>Hide your heart</title>
      <quantity>1</quantity>
      <price>9.90</price>
    </item>
  </items>
</shipOrder>
>>

and get the schema from the same website
<<
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema">

<xsd:element     name="shipOrder" type="order"/>

<xsd:complexType name="order">
  <xsd:element   name="shipTo"    type="shipAddress"/>
  <xsd:element   name="items"     type="cdItems"/>
</xsd:complexType>

<xsd:complexType name="shipAddress">
  <xsd:element   name="name"      type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element   name="street"    type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element   name="address"   type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element   name="country"   type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:complexType>

<xsd:complexType name="cdItems">
  <xsd:element   name="item"      type="cdItem"/>
</xsd:complexType>

<xsd:complexType name="cdItem">
  <xsd:element   name="title"     type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element   name="quantity"  
   type="xsd:positiveInteger"/>
  <xsd:element   name="price"     type="xsd:decimal"/>
</xsd:complexType>

</xsd:schema>
>>

I can load both into my DOM and both are OK

but how can I validate my XML against the schema as the two
are completely seperate entities ??????
