that
is because an id is considered as an xml-name and according to the specs (www.w3.org):
[Definition: A Name
is a token beginning with a
letter or one of a few punctuation characters, and continuing with letters,
digits, hyphens, underscores, colons, or full stops, together known as name
characters.] Names beginning with the string "xml", or any string which
would match ((’X’|’x’) (’M’|’m’)
(’L’|’l’)), are reserved for
standardization in this or future versions of this
specification.
Therefore, starting with 0 or 1 is not correct.
The
fact that it works in IE only means that your XML document is WELL-FORMED, not
that it is VALID. If you install MS-IE TOOLS, you will be able to validate your
document easily, then it will tell you that "A name was started with an invalid
character".

Hello,
I have a trouble about an XML file and two Xerces
examples (Sax2count, and Domcount).
I'm testing on PC with NT4 sp5, I'm using xerces
1.40 binary and examples, and visual c++ 6.0 sp4.
XML file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding="UTF-8"
?>
<!DOCTYPE Dictionnary [
<!ELEMENT Dictionnary
(category)+>
<!ELEMENT category (action)+>
<!ATTLIST
category id ID #REQUIRED>
<!ATTLIST action what (add|delete)
#REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT action (content)+>
<!ELEMENT content
(#PCDATA)>
]>
<Dictionnary>
<category
id="0">
<action
what="add">
<content>JOURX.DET.CUM.</content>
</action>
<action
what="add">
<content>JOURX.DET.CUM.</content>
</action>
</category>
<category
id="1">
<action
what="add">
<content>000001</content>
<content>000002</content>
<content>000003</content>
<content>000004</content>
</action>
</category>
</Dictionnary>
when I'm executing Sax2count or Domcount (F:\xerces\xerces-c1_4_0-win32\bin>sax2count
f:\temp\test.xml), I have this message:
Error at file f:\temp\test.xml, line 12, char
20
Message: The values for attribute 'id' must be names or name
tokens
Can tell me why I can't use "0" for Id attribute
of category.
When I'm testing successfully this file with
Internet explorer 5 and Notepad Xml.
Best Regard.
