Re: [Htmlparser-developer] testStringBeanListener() consistently failing

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

Dear Derick:
I am a graduate student, my name is Ling.
I just begin to use htmlparser 1.3, I try to parse 
amazon pages, most of the time it gives me parsing
error and exited.

Do you happen to know what was the reason? Is it just
because amazon pages tags are not well closed? or some
bugs in htmlparser?

Thanks a lot

Sincerely yours 
Ling Ma
