XML error message: "XX is an invalid table element or appears in the wrong order"

Hi all,

In my attempts to import an XML document I have begun encoding tables by means of namespace attributes. When I import the XML, I get the following error message: "<TEVLSTAT> is an invalid table element or appears in the wrong order."

I am at a loss to explain this. Does anyone have any helpful ideas?

Here is the XML:

What happens if you include aid:tcols="8" in the TEVLSTAT tag?

Bob,

Thanks for the help! I assume you mean aid:trows="8". And that does indeed make it work! However, I'd like to avoid adding this if I can, since the number of rows will vary and I don't trust my client's ability to generate XML with variable attributes.

Can I get away with that somehow?

Yours,

Måns

Sorry, not that I know of.

You could always pre-process the XML to make sure the aids are correct. Load the file into an XML object, do the count yourself, update the aids, the overwrite the file and import it into InDesign.

I wrote my own simple XML parser in ES to do pre-processing with html snippets so I could handle cases like <br> <hr> and <p> (without a </p>) and other such minor XML errors. Then it writes it out in well formed XML. I wrote the parser before ES supported XML, but it still comes in pretty handy for pre-processing xml prior to import into ID.
