   Re: [xml-dev] XML Schemas

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

well for example

<input type="image" /> has to have the attribute @src

but

<input type="hidden" /> can't have the attribute @src

so you could write <input type="hidden" src="images/button.png"/>
which wouldn't be valid, but impossiable to write a schema for.
