You can use the xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation e.g. <root xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://example.com/schema.xsd"> <foo>bar</foo> </root> for that respectively xsi:schemaLocation <root xmlns="http://example.com/2008/ns1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://example.com/2008/ns1 http://example.com/schema.xsd"> <foo>bar</foo> </root> -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com/
Hi Martin, thanks for your reply, could you explain why there are two https in the <xsi:schemaLoaction="..."> part. <root xmlns="http://example.com/2008/ns1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://example.com/2008/ns1 http://example.com/schema.xsd"> <foo>bar</foo> </root> It seems to me that the schema is applied to the <root> element( I am newbie so I am not sure about it), could you show me how to apply it to whole XML file?

There are two URIs, the first is the namespace URI, the second points to the schema for that namespace. > It seems to me that the schema is applied to the <root> element( I am newbie > so I am not sure about it), could you show me how to apply it to whole XML > file? The schema location is given on the root element, that is right, but the schema applies to the complete document. See <URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/#schemaLocation> for a more detailed explanation. -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com/
