RE: Malformed XML

["Dan Kimmel" <dkimmel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's lots wrong with this XML. You have elements inside elements
where attributes should go, for one. Here's one "correct" way to do it
with the Physical_Address element included within the
Consumer_Information element. Physical_Address has no content, only
attributes, so it's right to end it with a />. Consumer_Information has
content (Physical_Address) as well as attributes (eg, First_Name). Do
you have a schema or DTD for this pattern?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Blah_ABC_Response>
  <Blah_ABC_Decision_Info>
    <Consumer_Information
      First_Name="JOHN"
      Last_Name="ISNER"
      Birth_Date="1985-01-01"
      Home_Telephone_Number="5869831111"
      Requestor_Transaction_Amount="03500">
      <Physical_Address
        Address_Line_1="1 TENNIS DR "
        Address_Line_2=""
        Address_City="WARREN"
        Address_State_Code="MI"
        Address_Postal_Code="49802"/>
    </Consumer_Information>
  </Blah_ABC_Decision_Info>
</Blah_ABC_Response>

Subject: Malformed XML

Anyone see what's wrong with this XML? I have to be able to
intelligently tell the provider.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Blah_ABC_Response>
  <Blah_ABC_Decision_Info>
    <Consumer_Information
      First_Name="JOHN"
      Last_Name="ISNER"
      <Physical Address
        Address_Line_1="1 TENNIS DR "
        Address_Line_2=""
        Address_City="WARREN"
        Address_State_Code="MI"
        Address_Postal_Code="49802"/>
      Birth_Date="1985-01-01"
      Home_Telephone_Number="5869831111"
      Requestor_Transaction_Amount="03500"/>
    </Consumer_Information>
  </Blah_ABC_Decision_Info>
</Blah_ABC_Response>

Is it that Address_Postal_Code and Requestor_Transaction_Amount both
have ending brackets? I removed the one after Address_Postal_Code, but I
received the same error in the same place.

Thanks!
