XSD problem

[Hussein Baghdadi]

HI all.
I am using XMLSPY to create the following schema:

  
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
targetNamespace="http://xml.netbeans.org/examples/targetNS" 
xmlns="http://xml.netbeans.org/examples/targetNS" 
elementFormDefault="qualified">
              <xs:element name="note">
<xs:complexType >
<xs:element name="to" type="xs:string">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:enumeration value="Friend1"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Friend2"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="from" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

but xmlspy complains that <xs:element name="to"> is unexpected...
why???

The schema structure is incorrect.
complextype shd be follwed by xs:sequence
element cannot have simple type inside it.
etc.,

Thanks, but look at this : (please be patient) these days I am learning the schemas

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://xml.netbeans.org/examples/targetNS"
 xmlns="http://xml.netbeans.org/examples/targetNS" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="qualified">
<xsd:element name="note">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="to" type="xsd:string">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:enumeration value="Friend1"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="Friend2"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="from" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>  

and now, I reserved unexpected restirction element....
