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

Bob,

Thanks again. My client'll have to live with that then. With any luck, it means more work for me.

Have you considered avoiding tables altogether? InDesign will happily "clone" repeating elements, no matter how many of them there are, no matter if there are varying numbers of them in the XML file.

If you separated cell contents using tab characters, and table rows using paragraph returns, you would end up with a two-dimensional array of imported values, whose size depends on how many elements there are in the imported XML file. If you carefully used paragraph rules (for horizontal borders) and/or anchored objects (for vertical borders) you could end up with something that looks like a table, even though it really isn't.
