Can someone tell me how to construct an XSD schema for an element that can be a positive float or the word "Auto"?

Thanks - Rowan

This should do the thing:

Code:

                          <xs:simpleType>
                              <xs:union>
                                  <xs:simpleType>
                                      <xs:restriction base="xs:float">
                                          <xs:minExclusive value="0"/>
                                      </xs:restriction>
                                  </xs:simpleType>
                                  <xs:simpleType>
                                      <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
                                          <xs:enumeration value="Auto"/>
                                      </xs:restriction>
                                  </xs:simpleType>
                              </xs:union>
                          </xs:simpleType>

Brilliant. This has worked fine. I had tried to use Union in one of my previous attempts, but must have got it wrong somehow.

Thanks - Rowan
