XSD - proper way to express group of elements...

[unishippers.suckfeed.newshosting.com]

Hi,
I am wondering what is the best way to express a group of sub-elements not
required to be in any order?
so...

<person>
<height/>
<weight/>
</person>

or

<person>
<weight/>
<height/>
</person>

....are both valid when validated by the XSD Schema file.

Thanks ahead of time,

Jason

Hi Jason,

You can use the xs:all element, as long as each of the children can
appear no more than one time.

For example:

<xs:complexType name="PersonType">
<xs:all>
<xs:element name="height"/>
<xs:element name="weight"/>
</xs:all>
</xs:complexType>

Hope that helps,
Priscilla
