DOM to load XML

[xtreemnet]

Hi

I am using DOM in Visual basic 6 to read a XML document. I am using msxml4.dll. I can read most of the documents. But one document gives an error : "Required attribute 'name' is missing". How ever If I disconnect my machine from internet, it reads without any error.

Any idea why this happens,

Thanks

Your document probably has a XSD declaration that points to a remote site. This error is telling you that your document doesn't conform to the remote XSD, and is thus invalid (XSD files define how a XML file is supposed to look).

If you want to continue using that xsd, you will need to supply a name attribute in your document.

Thanks for the reply. I found a workaround for this. I just removed the schema definition, and I could read the document. At the moment its working.

Have you contacted the author of the XSD to find out why they want you to include that attribute?
