Re: [Htmlparser-user] Change in Layout

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

Hi Dhaval,
    This is actually a feature. If we try to give the exact same output =
as originally parsed, the performance of the parser could be =
compromised. Hence, giving a corresponding output with slightly =
different formatting was chosen - in order to keep the design of the =
parser simple.
    However, related to this is an interesing issue - for which =
community feedback would be valuable. Currently, the formatting of =
toHTML() is rather arbitrary (in my opinion). By this I am particularly =
referring to the usage of end of line characters. Considering that end =
of line characters differ for each operating system - would it be a good =
idea to replace the hard-coded end of line characters with a the =
detected end of line char for a particular OS ?

Regards,
Somik

  Hi,

  I have an HTML page which I am rying to modify. During this process, I
  have come across a quirk. I don't know whether the problem is browser
  related or parser related.

  The following HTML code :
  <TD align=3D"left" valign=3D"top" width=3D"18"><img =
src=3D"images/right_h1.gif"
  width=3D"18" height=3D"22"></TD>

  gets converted to
  <TD align=3D"left" valign=3D"top" width=3D"18">
  <img src=3D"images/right_h1.gif" width=3D"18" height=3D"22">
  </TD>

  This happens whenever I print back the parsed data using tag.toHTML().

  These 2 seem to be the same but presentation-wise I see different
  outputs. Is it write on part of tag.toHTML() to printout the EOL
  character at the end of the tag.

     Hi Claude,
     This has been handled, related to the earlier fix. All potential
     infinite loops have been removed, and there will be no more =
hangings
     - only HTMLParserExceptions from now on.
     There will be a release having all these fixes this weekend.

        Here's some markup we found in another document that causes the
        HTMLParser to hang.

        "<TITLE>KRP VALIDATION<PROCESS/TITLE>"

        So far, we've had 4 documents cause our process to come to a
        grinding halt. I would much prefer a policy of exception =
throwing
        to hangs asap, followed by consideration of whether unusual =
markup
        can be handled more elegantly in a subsequent phase. Thanks to
        everyone, as always.
