RE: [xml-dev] XML Schema - > XML Instance - > XSLT Transformation with MSXML 4 ?

["Manos Batsis" <m.batsis@bsnet.gr>]

What you are asking this is easy and you may have used it before:

var xmlDomObj = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.4.0");
xmlDomObj .async = false; 
xmlDomObj .validateOnParse = true; // <-- validate (default is true)
xmlDomObj .load("instance.xml");
if (xmlDomObj .parseError.errorCode != 0) 
     // Handle error 
else 
     // continue


You can also associate an instance with a schema through the read/write
schemas property [1].
I prefer a more convenient and standard method to do the association by
using the xsi:schemaLocation attribute in the instance document.
