Thanks for the reply.


at the same time,in the DTD for this element (desc) i was also
wondering why it wont allow me to use (#CDATA)  and says invalid
element declaration
and when i use (CDATA) it says Document structure doenst match DTD.
and what exactly is the difference?

thanks again for your earlier reply.
