RE: [Htmlparser-developer] HTMLParser Candidate Release 1 is out

[<dha...@or...>]

Hey Somik,

I think some mistake on my part (thougve'nt been able to figure out
what) but script and comments are now working fine. However the other
thing that  told you about, i.e. // and --> appearing on 2 different
lines needs to be fixed. Also the </SCRIPT> should not be on the same
line as --> but on a new line.

Dear Dhaval,
    More responses like yours, and we should be able to finish the
production release in no time.

Previously this scanner was not registered, as erroneous form tags would
crash the scanner. After that, the exception model was introduced, and I
thought that it would be good to have a form scanner that throws an
exception when it goes into a potential loop. Can you post the exact
exception, and your opinion as to why it should not have been thrown ?

>I have added the same as a bug report as well. Urge you to check it
out.

As always, there's only one way to prove a bug - with a testcase.
I tried writing one - but mine passes! I have added it to CVS, and for
your
purpose, here is HTMLScriptScannerTest.java for you. Use it and build
the
parser. I might have gone wrong in building it, so you can modify this,
make
it fail, and send it back to me.

>Some points I noted while scanning through the javadocs:

I will work on these..
