Hi
I'm just getting started in the XML world and I'm working
through Simon St. Laurent's book "XML: A Primer". The start of
chapter 5 looks at the parsing of a simple xml document. So I
type it into a text editor and parse it with MSXML only to
receive the following error message:
C:\msxml>jview msxml -d1 me\simple.xml
Root element name must match the DOCTYPE name
Location: file:/C:/msxml/me/simple.xml(10,2)
Context: <null>
(Attached as an appendix to this mail is the listing of
simple.xml.) From what i can gather, the error occurs at the
second character in the <DOCUMENT> element. The error message is
telling me that the root element name must match the DOCTYPE
name ["simple"]. However, i haven't being able to solve this
error.
I haven't got many more hairs to pull out, so can someone point
in the the right direction. Many thanks,
Nigel
