How to enforce DTD? 1

[nath]

Hi there,

Absolutely new to XML. Have written a basic XML document and Basic DTD. When I visualise my XML in Internet Explorer, I know it first checks the DTD (because I had a mistake in it and it gave me an error message).

Now I fixed the error in DTD and IE displays my XML OK. However if I create voluntarily a mistake in my XML document (like a spelling mistake in an element or attribute choice) it still displays XML docs without complaining (thus not enforcing my DTD specs).

Have I missed something basic??

Internet Explorer will not automatically validate (check) your XML for you, you need a special validator which will do it.
Here's a site that does it for you...

http://www.stg.brown.edu/service/xmlvalid/

Just enter the location of the file and it will find any mistakes for you.

THanks Chantey. Was simple indeed but if you don't know you don't guess!

Have a nice one.
