Oxygen XML Forum

Hi,

I get the following error when I try to validate an xml file:
SystemID: C:\Documents and Settings\pcharles\Desktop\rrsearch test\Document.xml
Location: 1:7
Description: F The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.

I don't understand what this error means, the file opens fine with IE 6.

I tried to go to your forums, but I don't know my username / password.

Thanks for your help.

I found the problem.
I had a space at the beginning of the first line:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>

Hi Patrik,

The XML header is allowed only at the start of the document. In your case you had a space at the beginning of the document and thus the <?xml ... ?> was considered a processing instruction and a processing instruction with the name xml (case insensitive) is not allowed.

Best Regards,
George

Thank you for your answer George. What was confusing me is that the MSXML parser didn't care, but that Oxygen was not validating the file.

Thanks again.

Patrick
