XML / XSL

Maybe you find one here: http://www.w3.org/XML/Schema#Tools[^] "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

Well, "well-formed" XML is syntactically valid XML. "Valid" XML is always well-formed, but must also be semantically correct. XML is not valid when you use unknown elements, attributes or invalid child elements etc. example: Let's say you have XML document describing car. You have some schema (.xsd file), allowing only wheel element inside car element. <car> <wheel /> <wheel /> <sometotalydifferentxmlelement /> </car> is well-formed XML, but invalid.

When you "#import" MSXML, don't use the no_namespace attribute or use the rename_namespace attribute. Using a namespace will resolve your clashes. "We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give." --Winston Churchill

PHP is available. BTW, I am not willing to use JavaScript (or anything that runs on client), because more and more people disable its support in their browsers. Regards, BB http://spin.bartoszbien.com

This has nothing to do with XML or XSL - please post in the appropriate forum. Upcoming events: * Glasgow Geek Dinner (5th March) * Glasgow: Tell us what you want to see in 2007 My: Website | Blog | Photos

it is confusing to under stand... but i think first u have to attach that XSLT to any XML... and modify ur XSLT to store that value in sone variable...

that's right

Great, thank you! I put the XSD file two directories up, so the following two lines now do the trick: DirectoryInfo schemaDir = (Directory.GetParent(Application.StartupPath)).Parent).Parent; string schemaFullName = schemaDir + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + "OptionsSchema.xsd";

Thanks, In the end I realised I'd been slack and not defined a default namespace for the document while also relying on a webservice to cast from a string containing xml to an XMLDocument and .Net had kindly added a namespace for me. That tool looks like it'll be very interesting in the near future, I seem to be descending into XML coding more and more having hovered around the edges of it for several years. Thanks again, Russell

No html file needed, as the menus are probably used by the aspx files. Those are part of the ASP.NET technology and similar to php files allow you to create dynamic pages. Therefor they need to be processed by a special web server which then returns a html page to the client. Such a web server that allows you to run the aspx pages on your local systems is included in the free of charge Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition[^] "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
