Does this work for you? <!ELEMENT CompanyProfile ( Profile? | Promotion?)> each element is optional, will occur at most once, and any order is allowed. Perhaps I missed some part of what you see as the problem?? Cheers...Hugh W. Hugh Chatfield I.S.P. CyberSpace Industries 2000 Inc.

Subject: how to make the order of elements in the DTD null n void Hello, I have defined a DTD with a set of xml's. These xml's have the elements defined in more that one order, like <!---------- a.xml------------> <CompanyProfile> <Profile> .......... </Profile> <Promotion> ............ </Promotion> </CompanyProfile> Another xml file has the order changed <!-----------b.xml--------> <CompanyProfile> <Promotion> ............. </Promotion> <Profile> .......... </Profile> </CompanyProfile> The DTD for these files contains <!ELEMENT CompanyProfile ( Profile?, Promotion?)> The problem im facing is that when i validate the xmls with the corresponding DTD, it throws an error in b.xml, which relates to the order of the elements Profile and Promotion. Im using xmllint to validate the xml : $xmllint --noout --valid a.xml My questions is: How can i override the order of elements (the elements are optional in nature as well) not to be checked with the corresponding DTD? Ive used a XML schema to validate the xmls but doesnt work, since i cant have an ordered list ("all") have maxOccurs=unbounded Thanks for you help in advance Varun ----------------------------------------------------------------- The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the subscription manager: <http://www.oasis-open.org/mlmanage/index.php>
