xhtml in xml element

[Wole Ogunremi]

I guess this is a well asked question but it is tripping me up!

I'm putting a forum together allowing xhtml markup content. I am validating
against a schema but getting "Could not find schema information for element
<elementName>.. .

I would appreciate if anyone could advice where I am going wrong. TIA

Here's my xsd:

Well how are you validating that document? Which XML parser are you
using, how are you using it?
When I save your files here locally and use the following JScript to
validate with MSXML 5 or MSXML 4

var xmlSchemaCache = new ActiveXObject(' Msxml2.XMLSchem aCache.5.0');
xmlSchemaCache. add('http://www.test.com/Topics.xsd',
'test2004112801 Xsd.xml');

var xmlDocument = new ActiveXObject(' Msxml2.DOMDocum ent.5.0');
xmlDocument.sch emas = xmlSchemaCache;

xmlDocument.asy nc = false;
var valid = xmlDocument.loa d('test20041128 01.xml');

then I get an error message
'Die ID 'thrd6' kommt doppelt vor.'
meaning the ID 'thrd6' is duplicated. And indeed looking into your
instance you have:
<tes:SubThrea d ParentThreadID= "thrd5">
<tes:ThreadID>t hrd6</tes:ThreadID>
<tes:AuthorID>A nonymous</tes:AuthorID>
<tes:Created>
<tes:OnDate>200 4-11-27</tes:OnDate>
<tes:AtTime>14: 46:11</tes:AtTime>
</tes:Created>
<tes:SubThrea d ParentThreadID= "thrd5">

<tes:Created>
<tes:OnDate>200 4-11-27</tes:OnDate>
<tes:AtTime>15: 12:06</tes:AtTime>
</tes:Created>

so that instance is not valid.

Also note that you shouldn't use the type xs:ID for element values, it
should only be used on attribute values to be compatible with the XML
1.0 specification and the XML DTD type ID. You can use xs:unique or
xs:key to define such element values as unique.

Thanks for your reply. I am developing using Visual Studio .NET 2003. I'm
working within the XML designer.

You are right about the mixed up IDs but actually the xml I pasted here is
an edited subset of my data. The real file respects ID uniqueness, so that's
not the issue. But thanks for the point on not using xs:ID for elements.

The errors I get when I ask the designer to validate the file are all "Could
not find schema information for the element
'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml:b'" and similar for the other elements within
the Content node.

Hope you can see some sense in it. I will email you the full file if you
don't mind.

TIA

I see, then you should post in a Visual Studio .NET group or .NET xml
group, I think you have done that already but if your particular problem
is with that tool then you should mention it so that people can help
that use that tool too.

I will email you the full file if you
don't mind.

No, let's take that to the proper newsgroup, there someone using that
tool can help.

I don't immediately see anything wrong with your use of

validates without error with your schema [subsequent message], using
XSV [1]
