Hi Raghav
> when would be this HTMLparser 1.1 out?
As soon as I can wrap it up. Technically, the code is ready and already
checked into CVS. I need to do the process of creating a release - make some
documentation, check everything is ok, ..
If I had some help I could wrap it up sooner.

Yes - parseParameters() will give you the stuff inside the FORM tag. That is
what I call "microscopic" parsing. But to get the remaining tags - till you
encounter </FORM> you need to do "macroscopic" parsing. This is not hard-
check HTMLAppletScanner as an example.

In a nutshell - concept is very simple. The scan method provides you with a
reader. So you are to use that reader to read ahead and get the next tags.
This is simple bcos the reader will automatically identify the correct tags,
and the mechanism is very similar to using the parser to get the tags you
want. The HTMLLinkScanner among others, also works on the same principle.

Bytway - I think we should take this discussion to the Developer list.

[Raghavender S. <kin...@ho...>]

hi Somik,
question regarding the form parsing. let us say I have this tag
<SELECT name="pulldown" class="smaller-text">

so now when I do a
			node = reader.readElement();

if I do a node.print(), I get

Begin Tag : SELECT name="pulldown" class="smaller-text"; begins at : 0; ends 
at : 44

this node which I get is of neither HTMLRemarkNode, HTMLStringNode, 
HTMLEndTag.
I am not sure how to classify this. because if I want to take some action 
here I need to classify this node.
could you help me out.

Thats right- this is expected behaviour. The type of this node is HTMLTag.
If you downcast to HTMLTag, you can get all the info.

hi Somik,
any ideas about my previous mail. let us say if we have
<OPTION value="#">Select a destination</OPTION>
when I do a
node = reader.readElement();
where "reader" is HTMLReader
the node I get is of type neither HTMLStringNode, HTMLEndTag, 
HTMLRemarkNode.
how do I classify this if I want to do some thing with them.

[Htmlparser-developer] Re: [Htmlparser-user] HTML parser 1.1

[Somik R. <so...@ya...>]

Hi Raghav
    I replied to your earlier query. Did you recieve the mail (I forwarded
it again) ?
    Regarding your current query, there are two ways to handle option tags.

[1] Like in the previous question, you will have to recognize a HTMLTag
(begin tag), followed by HTMLStringNode, and finally HTMLEndTag.
[2] To make life easier, since this tag is basic xml, you can use a special
XML parsing method provided in the superclass HTMLTagScanner.

The methods are :
(i) isXMLTagFound
(ii) extractXMLData

both of them are static mehods.
You would use it like this :

HTMLNode node = reader.readElement();
if (isXMLTag(node,"OPTION")) {
    String option = extractXMLData(node,"OPTION",reader);
    // The string now contains the data within the option xml tag
    // So given an input : <OPTION value="#">Select a destination</OPTION>
    // option will hold "Select a destination"
}

But getting the value from the option tag itself would need to be handled
seperately.

Regards,
Somik

[Htmlparser-developer] Re: [Htmlparser-user] HTML parser 1.1

[Raghavender S. <kin...@ho...>]

hi Somik,
the code snippet you mailed me seems to have some problems.
let me explain you. the method
isXMLTagFound(node,"OPTION")
would always return false. the reason: in the definition of the above method 
we have

if (node instanceof HTMLTag) {
      System.out.println("node instanceof HTMLTag in tagscanner  ");
		HTMLTag tag = (HTMLTag)node;
		if (tag.getText().equals(tagName)) {
			xmlTagFound=true;
		}
	}

tag.getText() would always give me
OPTION value="#">Select a destination

which is not equal to the tagName, in this case the tagName=OPTION.

Re: [Htmlparser-developer] Re: [Htmlparser-user] HTML parser 1.1

[Somik R. <so...@ya...>]

    Code is checked into CVS - it should work for you now.

Regards,
Somik
