[Htmlparser-developer] Re: Another bug

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

Hi Cedric,
    This was a very good bug report. This turned out to be a deep bug - =
but easy to fix. HTMLParser does auto correction of tags when inverted =
commas are not provided. However, this can conflict with certain tags =
where they are provided. So to provide some intelligence into the =
parser-  there is this feature of "strictness".=20

    This allows you to tell the parser when to be strict and when not to =
be. This makes sense in situations when you know, that the html coder =
would not make a mistake, and if he does, browsers like IE would crash. =
Examples of such tags would be INPUT - for applets, if you are providing =
complex params, they must be within inverted commas or it confuses the =
browser. I have added the META tag also to this strictness list.

    Also, there was an issue with HTMLTag.java itself related to this =
report.
    Thank you very much for this bug report - you can try the =
StringExtractor on the url you gave, the entire text comes out cleanly. =
(Check out from CVS and build, or wait for the next release)

Cheers,
Somik

  Hi,

  When I parse this url: www.cybergeo.presse.fr\culture\weili\weili.htm =
no=20
  text is found.

  With my daily bugs reports, you might think that I want to break your=20
  software lol ... excuse me for testing with "space" url :)

  Cedric.
