Hi there,
Is it possible to a create a schema that allows an xml document to have repeating child nodes of a parent to be appearing in any order? For example, the following is a sample of my xml document.
<parent>
<child1>A</child1>
<child1>B</child1>
<child2>C</child2>
<child1>D</child1>
<child3>E</child3>
<child3>F</child3>
<child2>G</child2>
</parent>
With my current schema as shown, the xml document obviouslt doesnt conforms to the schema. How can I change my schema document so that it will allow for any order and with the possiblity that the different child elements to be repeating?
<xs:element name="parent">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="child1" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<xs:element ref="child2" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<xs:element ref="child3" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
thanks

Not exactly on-topic for an XSLT forum...
You can write
<xs:element name="parent">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element ref="child1" />
<xs:element ref="child2" />
<xs:element ref="child3" />
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
