XML -- XML Validator
================================
Last Updated: October 18, 1999.


SUMMARY
========
This web page allows you to enter in the URL of an XML document and both 
parse and validate that document. This demo utilizes the new validation 
support (XML schemas, validateOnParse property, etc.). To run the validator 
on this site, enter in the following filename: "WeatherReport.xml". 

The new MSXML parser that ships with Internet Explorer 5 now supports XML 
schemas as a way to define content models. XML data can now be validated 
against an XML schema. 

The new validateOnParse property gives the web application builder more 
control over what actions are taken with the downloaded document. In some 
cases, validating the document may be an unnecessary step. In other cases, 
validation may be required. 
       

DETAILS
========
When entering a URL, be aware that, for security reasons, you cannot 
access data across protocols. Therefore, if you load the page via http, 
you can only access data via http. The same goes for other protocols. 


USAGE
======
This validator can be used with both XML schemas and DTDs. 
 
 
BROWSER/PLATFORM COMPATIBILITY
===============================
This demo requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or greater on 
Win32 or Unix platforms.
