[Htmlparser-user] Elements and text nodes

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hello,

given this text string

	"<html><body><a href="xy">test</a></body></html>"

HTMLParser creates this nodelist:

	Tag (0[0,0],6[0,6]): html
	  Tag (6[0,6],12[0,12]): body
	    Tag (12[0,12],25[0,25]): a href="xy"
	      Txt (25[0,25],29[0,29]): test
	      End (29[0,29],33[0,33]): /a
	    End (33[0,33],40[0,40]): /body
	  End (40[0,40],47[0,47]): /html

So, the text "test" is child element of the tag node for the element 
<A>. I like this behaviour and I think thats correct way to do that.

But:

from this text string

	"<html><body><code>test</code></body></html>"

the parser creates the following node list:

	Tag (0[0,0],6[0,6]): html
	  Tag (6[0,6],12[0,12]): body
	    Tag (12[0,12],18[0,18]): code
	    Txt (18[0,18],22[0,22]): test
	    End (22[0,22],29[0,29]): /code
	    End (29[0,29],36[0,36]): /body
	  End (36[0,36],43[0,43]): /html

so, the text "test" is not a child element of the tag <code>.
Why does this happen? Is it a bug or feature?

Thank you for your help,

greetings
