[Htmlparser-user] getting close. trying to replace one tag with another

[Randy P. <rtp...@gm...>]

Hello
i am trying to replace a <object> tag with an <img> tag reading an
html file and sending the html to an editor.

It was working great unless the object tag was inside of a <div> or
nested inside some other tag.
So on the mailing list i found a recursive function example that i
have modified. It is working kindof.

As i am  going thru the nodes if it is not an <object> tag and am just
adding that node.toHtml() to the StringBuffer Object that i am passing
to the editor.
if it is an object and a flash object i need to replace the object tag
with an image tag.

I am finding the object tag and replacing it ok, but as i traverse the
document, i am not adding everything to the StringBuffer Object. Like
tables in tables are not being added, and probably other tags within
tags.

if anyone can see something obvious that i am doing something wrong.

thanks

   StringBuffer retStrBuf();

            if(node != null) {
