<i><b>Originally posted by : subramanian (subramanian@texworld.com)</b></i><br />hi all,<br /> <br />i have a doubt if ie 5.0 validates an internal dtd or not ?<br />i have written a dtd within an xml document as<br /> <br /> <br /><!DOCTYPE Customers [<br /><!ELEMENT Customer (CustomerID,CompanyName,ContactName,Region)> <!ELEMENT CustomerID (#PCDATA)><br /><!ELEMENT CompanyName (#PCDATA)><br /><!ELEMENT ContactName (#PCDATA)><br /><!ELEMENT Region (#PCDATA)><br />]><br /> <br />i does not validate the contents of the document even if i could remove some of the document fragments like customerid,region etc.. <br /> <br />where does the mistake lie?<br /> <br />thanking u all<br /> <br />subramanian<br />
