[Htmlparser-user] parsing bug?

[Subramanya S. <sa...@cs...>]

I am writing to check if what I am observing is a parsing bug, and if 
so, if there are any known workarounds.

When javascript is being parsed, at the start, my NodeVisitor's visitTag 
method gets called.  As expected, all starting html tags within the 
javascript itself are being ignored since they are are part of the 
javascript and not the HTML.  However, at the first closing tag that is 
encounted within the javascript code (even within strings), the parser 
triggers a close script tag and calls my visitor's visitEndTag method 
gets called.

For example with "</textarea>" string within the javascript, I get 2 
successive calls to visitEndTag, first with the SCRIPT tag and next with 
the TEXTAREA tag.  Or, with a "</he" + "ad>" string within javascript, I 
get 2 successive calls to visitEndTag, first with the SCRIPT tag and 
next with the TEXTAREA tag.

As an example, test the 2 urls:

1. http://youtube.com/?v=qf4tdOKKWic
2. http://www.deccanherald.com/Content/Oct202007/city2007102031594.asp

Any leads to fix this are much appreciated.

Thanks,
Subbu.
