Hi Karki,

Your guess is right.
The XML sample which u have is invalid.

This could be one of the valid xml docs.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE test
[
<!ELEMENT test (data)>
<!ELEMENT data (year, kcode, bcode)>
<!ELEMENT year (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT kcode (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT bcode (#PCDATA)>
]>
<test>
<data>
<year>2002</year>
<kcode>001</kcode>
<bcode>002</bcode>
</data>
</test>

You can go thru MSXML(from microsoft.com) to get more info.

Regards,
Vinod.

Is following XML sample valid?
Please note that the internal declaration subset does not
declare the "test" element. IE normally opens this sample.
My understanding was that the root element should
also be declared in the internal declaration subset
if there is no external declaration subset.
Am I misunderstood?
Where can I find clear information about this?

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE test
[
<!ELEMENT data (year, kcode, bcode)>
<!ELEMENT year (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT kcode (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT bcode (#PCDATA)>
]>
<test>
<data>
<year>2002</year>
<kcode>001</kcode>
<bcode>002</bcode>
</data>
</test>
