XML Tutorial

You are asked to create an XML file for Petes Pet Store. He wants to use the file to display a list of adopted pets.

1. Open the file pets.txt. Using the contents, create an XML document named pets.xml.

2. The pets.xml file should contain the following items:

   1. An XML prolog.

   2. The root element of the document should be named Pets. The Pets element should

      contain multiple occurrences of a child element named Pet.

   3. The Pet element should have the following child elements: Name, Category, Breed,

      DateAdopted, Gender, Registered, Color, and ListPrice.

   4. The Pet element should have the attribute PetID containing the pet ID of each pet.

   5. The Registered element is not required for each pet. When present, it should contain the pets registration ID.

   6. The Category, Breed, DateAdopted, Gender, and ListPrice contain the pets category, breed, date adopted, gender, and list price accordingly.

3. Within the documents prolog, insert a comment describing the purpose of the document. Include the filename, your name, and the current date in the comment text.

4. Attach the pets.xml file to a CSS style sheet named pets.css(included in the data files).

5. Open pets.xml in your Web browser and verify that there are no errors reported by the XML

   parser within the browser.
