HI, SDE, thank you very much for your post, appreciate.

I have been reading for the XML tutorial for the past few days. I realized that I have two problems to be overcome.

1. My XML is not in a well-formed format. I would like to find out which section is wrong. Is there any web software to test or validate the XML? I tried the link below but I dont know why it cant work. Is there any other link to be used?
http://www.w3schools.com/dom/dom_validate.asp

2. From what I read, it specified that I should try to avoid the use of attributes if information feels like data, Use child elements if the information feels like data. In my case, many attributes are used and the information to be displayed are scoring data, means I should change the use of attributes to child elements? Do you mind to elaborate on how to change the use of attributes to child elements in the codes?
