cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'thead'.

[sashc...@gmail.com]

Hi,
While i was trying to validate my referral summary XML with Microbiology. I got this error

cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'thead'. One of '{"urn:hl7-org:v3":tfoot, "urn:hl7-org:v3":tbody}' is expected.

I check my table in the text node it has two thead and one tbody. I manually inserted a tbody inside a table but the error remains the same. Please help me where i'm wrong.

This is my XML Lab results section text node part.

<cda:templateId root="2.16.840.1.113883.10.20.22.2.3.1" />
<cda:code code="30954-2" codeSystem="2.16.840.1.113883.6.1" codeSystemName="LOINC" displayName="RESULTS" />
<cda:title>Lab Results</cda:title>
<cda:text>
<table border="1" width="100%">

</tbody>
</table>
<table border="1" width="100%">

Hi,

In CDA R2, <thead> as a child of <table> has 0-1 cardinality, so it's
the second <thead> in the second <table> that's causing the problem. If
you re-write the HTML to eliminate the second thead, the error will go away.

FWIW, when debugging schema issues, I find it helpful to use a
schema-aware XML Editor (such as oXygen or XMLSpy) and let it highlight
the errors visually.
