I've created a XML + Schema and am trying to validate it but I keep on receiving errors that I do not understand. I believe I have done what w3schools has done, but for some reason it is not valid.

XML
Code: 
<collection  xmlns="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3schools.com"[/URL] 
xmlns:xsi="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"[/URL] 
xsi:schemaLocation="mallSchema.xsd">

XSD
Code: 
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"[/URL] 
targetNamespace="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3schools.com"[/URL] 
xmlns="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3schools.com"[/URL] 
elementFormDefault="qualified">

One record of XML doc

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="mallLayout.xsl"?>


<collection

		<description>When we built Aberdeen Centre back in 1989, our goal was to create the first truly Asian shopping experience in the Lower Mainland. Our success has inspired us to look beyond cultures, to re-imagine and redefine a new type of retail and entertainment experience. One that embraces the best of East and West. A celebration of multiculturalism. To achieve this we are building a state-of-the-art shopping and entertainment complex triple the size of the original. My vision for the new Aberdeen Centre is to see it become Greater Vancouver pre-eminent cosmopolitan shopping destination. The first Asian/Western centre of its kind, anywhere.</description>

First one is very clear, isn't it? You need to parameters for schemaLocation as shown here.



Cheers,

Didn't I provide the schemaLocation by saying xsi:schemaLocation="mallSchema.xsd" ?

I don't understand the second error either as I already declared <xs:element name="collection"> in my schema.

For the third point, I just copied what I found online at W3Schools, and I still receive an error.
