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

[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.
Raghav
