RE: Validating XML Document......

when i pass this xml file to DOMParser it should raise an exception saying
that FirstName is not there. But it is giving the result as valid document.
To validate the xml by applying DTD what i have to do ??

Thanks,
Shravan.

According to your example DTD, FirstName is already required as
is LastName. Required is shown in DTDs with either of these syntaxes: 

* no delimeter after the element name (to require a single instance), or,
* + delimeter after the element name (to require at LEAST 1 instance, but
  any number is valid)
