Hi,

I think what you want to do is to have a person with multiple phone or emails, but he may only have one. The problem is that you used CDATA, when you tried to fill in some data. Use #PCDATA and it worked. And, you did not declare the other elements by embedding them in your "person." That is why it keeps giving you messages.

Here is the fixed up code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE CONTACTS [ <!ELEMENT CONTACTS (PERSON)> <!ELEMENT PERSON (FIRSTNAME,LASTNAME,PHONE*, WORKADDR,EMAIL*,TIMEZONE,OTHERINFO)*> <!ELEMENT FIRSTNAME (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT LASTNAME (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT PHONE (#PCDATA)> <!ATTLIST PHONE TYPE CDATA #REQUIRED> <!ELEMENT WORKADDR (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT EMAIL (#PCDATA)> <!ATTLIST EMAIL TYPE CDATA #REQUIRED> <!ELEMENT TIMEZONE (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT OTHERINFO (#PCDATA)> ]> <CONTACTS> <PERSON> <FIRSTNAME>Jeff</FIRSTNAME> <LASTNAME>XXXX</LASTNAME> <PHONE TYPE="HOME"> 9,234 876-90XX</PHONE> <PHONE TYPE="WORK"> 9,234 767-78XX</PHONE> <PHONE TYPE="CELL"> 9,234 778-67XX</PHONE> <WORKADDR>Zsoft 23400 Park Place, XXXXX</WORKADDR> <EMAIL TYPE="WORK">jXXXX</EMAIL> <EMAIL TYPE="HOME">jXXXXXX</EMAIL> <TIMEZONE>EST</TIMEZONE> <OTHERINFO>Linux Admin, Perl Guru</OTHERINFO> </PERSON> </CONTACTS>
