 How can i validate the field length in DTD ?? The answer to this is the same as the answer to your question of last week (about how to validate a numeric datatype): in short, you can't using a plain old DTD. If each digit were its own element, you might be able to do something like: <!ELEMENT phonenum (digit,digit,digit,digit,digit, digit,digit,digit,digit,digit) > which limits it to 10 "digit" child elements. But then (aside from the fact that it will be horrible to create documents like this, at least manually) you're stuck defining *them*, the digit elements themselve -- the best you can do is: <!ELEMENT digit (#PCDATA) > which doesn't limit the length at all. Also like your question of last week, this is very much off-topic for XSL-List. You need to be asking these questions on XML-L.
