XSD validation error with XML child node

Question

I getting a validation error when trying to validate an XML file against an external XSD file.
I'm getting the following error: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'namn'. One of '{name}' is expected.
I guess it has to do with contactperson have nested children...

Here's the XML code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<startfalt>
    <person startnummer="14">
        <namn>
            <fornamn>Charlotte</fornamn>
            <efternamn>Kalla</efternamn>
        </namn>
        <fodelsesiffror>790204-1712</fodelsesiffror>
        <land>Sverige</land>
        <klubb>IK SKidan</klubb>
        <sponsor>Audi</sponsor>
        <traningstimmar>1200</traningstimmar>
        <prispengar valuta="kr">2300000</prispengar>
        <kontaktperson>
            <namn>
                <fornamn>Sven</fornamn>
                <efternamn>Svensson</efternamn>
            </namn>
        </kontaktperson>
    </person>
</startfalt>

Answer 1

You are correct, there is a fairly simple fix for that. Change your contactType to:

<xsd:complexType name="contactType">
    <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element name="namn" type="nameType" />
    </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
