Try It!

  1. Copy the XML data (books.xml), and paste it into a text file. Save the file as books.xml.
  2. Copy the XSD listing (books.xsd), and paste it into a text file. Save the file as books.xsd, in the same directory where you saved books.xml.
  3. Copy the JScript listing above, and paste it into a text file. Save the file as next.js, in the same directory where you saved books.xml and books.xsd.
  4. Double click the next.js file from Windows Explorer to launch the application. Alternatively, you can type "next.js" from a command prompt.
    Note   Under operating systems other than Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you might need to install Windows Scripting Host (wscript.exe), if it is not already installed.
  5. Verify that your output is the same as that listed in Output for the next Example.
