Won't Validate

[Guest chrisc]

Please help! I've spend 6 hours on this and for the life of me I can't get the XSD validator to pass my XSD/XML! The only way it would pass is by removing the targetNamespace attribute from the <schema> tag, and that's no good. Any help would be appreciated. THANKS!XSD:

Well you're schema has a target namespace and your XML document is using a noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute. The clue is in the name of the attribute. Try reading up on XML namespaces, it can be quite confusing!
