Yet, another XML problem

XML's are just not my thing!
Code: [Select]

I also tried <Object> as <Appearance>, I also checked for misspells quickly, and didn't find anything. Though, you may still want to check.

Ahh... It was obvious and I missed it:

<Orbit> parameters all need to be on one line separated by semicolons (;).

Code: [Select]
<Orbit>body=Earth ; apogee=358 km ; perigee=349 km ; e=0.0008892 ; i=51.6405 ; node=179.1416 ; peri=50.8416 ; m=309.3534 </Orbit>
Check out Satellites orbiting Earth.xml for a working example.

And from the Sandbox Log.txt file:
"The 'Action' start tag on line 17 does not match the end tag of 'Body'. Line 18, position 5."
(Add a closing </Action> tag.

It should work once you make those changes.

I don't know!?!?!? I'm not a XML wizard or I would have not had this problem. Oh wait. It's cause the program can't understand certain things, and you can only put stuff one way.
