   Re: [xml-dev] <xs:group> name versus id attributes

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

So should I then assume that this example from the XML Schema Primer is in error?

The group should be defined as:

        <xsd:group name="shipAndBill">

Thanks,
Anne

Hi Anne,

All the schema elements have an optional id attribute, which is just a
standard ID-type value (basically a non-namespaced name that can be used
to reference the element, using values of type IDREF, anywhere within
the document). Even though schema includes the id attribute on all the
elements AFAIK it doesn't define any use for the id. The name attribute
is what defines the name by which the group will be referenced, with the
namespace of that name controlled by the schema targetNamespace attribute.
