[Htmlparser-developer] Form tag should not be composite tag?

[Mr L. MA <law...@ya...>]

Hi all:
Do you guys think form tag should not be composite
tag?
or else it cannot process page like:

http://money.cnn.com/services/glossary/a.html

which misses one form end tag.

Thanks very much for the sample page. My to do list for this week :
[1] Refactor correction logic in the link scanner to the composite scanner,
so that it becomes available for all composite tags. That will solve the
problem you mention.

[2] Work on Dhaval's suggestion - I have some ideas about switching off
testcases that require the internet.

Regards,
Somik

[Htmlparser-developer] Webase test and Form tag scanner?

[Mr L. MA <law...@ya...>]

One problem I had with FormTag.toString() method is
that form tag should be treated as body tag since any
other tags could be nested in it.

The ultimate htmlparser test would be webase
collection from stanford.

What I did is to download a website with a offline
browser ( such as webstripper)

Running StringExtractor on the local collection gives
many ParserExceptions.

Sometimes with JTidy I can get luck on some pages
before apply HTMLParser, sometimes not.

My focus is to use HTMLParser for text extraction, so
I came into "dirty" pages that HTMLParser gives error.

Is there a way even with readelements=null I can still
get the rest nodes?

What you could really do to speed up our testing is to provide us with urls
that cause breaks - and keep filing lots of bug reports. That would be a
great help.

This usually means the parser has reached the end of the page without
finding a matching end tag. It is usually a fatal error. But this week, I am
planning to improve robustness - systemwide. It would be good to have some
nice bug reports before I start, though.

If you have a ftp site, I can upload exception pages
to it daily.
