ok, so correct me if wrong, but a properly formatted XML file does not care about the order of its elements, correct? <element1-name>John</element1-name> <element2-country>US</element2-country> would be parsed the same if it were listed as <element2-country>US</element2-country> <element1-name>John</element1-name> This 2nd question regarding schema. If I had a .XSD schema file that I wanted to reference, is the following "header" in my .XML file correct? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> < PointOfContact xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PointOfContact.xsd"> How do I make the location "relative" (with the dot dots..)? Thanks!
