XML feed probs

Fonz · 2006-12-19, 10:52 AM

Hi, I'm struggling with an XML feed that we are going to offer for one of the sites managed by the company I do my dayjob for.

When I put this http://www.thisislive.com/xml_offline.php through this validator: http://www.validome.org/validate I get a bunch of error messages saying most of the attributes aren't allowed.

Any care to tell me how it should be done?
Thanx

you need to write (and reference) a DTD in the header of the xml that corresponds to the containers that you are using.

Tough to explain, but, browse this and you should be able to figure out 99% of what you need.

http://www.w3schools.com/dtd/

I would think you need to just define the containers that you are using. Now you see why everyone else bastardizes their xml to use the standard DTD.
