Loading XML string vs. file

[Muddmuse]

I have an XML file that when loaded into the DOM and transformed with XSL produces the desired results. When the same XML is loaded into the DOM as a string I get a &quot;Element <CCC> not allowed in this context&quot; error. Why?

Here is something similar to the XML I'm using:

<AAA>
<BBB>Here is some text</BBB>
<BBB>and more <CCC seq=&quot;1&quot;/> text</BBB>
</AAA>

What DOM? How are you loading it? In a program? What sort of program? What language?

MSXML4 using ASP. Sorry for the vague description.

The app I'm working on sends an XML string returned from a COM component with a datatype attribute set to string (dt:dt=&quot;string&quot on each node, which I did not indicate in my example. When that attribute is present the DOM would not load the XML - producing the &quot;...out of context&quot; error (the dt namespace is declared but I did not included it in my example). I can get around this problem by removing the dt attribute but would like to understand why this is occurring and maybe come up with a better solution.
