Noob XSD question

From: Alfie Noakes <AlfieNoakes@----------.--.-->

I've been wrestling with this all today and just can't crack it! It's
driving me mad. Arggghhh.

Given a very simple "database type" XML file....

<database name="mydatabase">
  <table name="fruit">
    <row>
      <field name="name">Kumquat</field>
      <field name="colour">Kind of orangey</field>
    </row>
    <row>
      <field name="name">Lychee</field>
      <field name="colour">Reddish</field>
    </row>
  </table>
</database>


I simply cant get the XSD right to validate when the text part of the
<field> element is missing ( i.e. Kumquat or Lychee) Here's what I
have:


<xs:complexType name="fieldtype">
  <xs:simpleContent>
    <xs:extension base="xs:string">
      <xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
      </xs:extension>
   </xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>


I've tried xs:restriction entries everywhere I can think of but
nothing works.

Someone please put me out of my misery before I go and open a vein!

Cheers,
Alfie
