Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jeremy Hylton (jhylton) Assigned to: Fred L. Drake, Jr. (fdrake) Summary: HTMLParser can't handle page with javascript Initial Comment: Perhaps the page is malformed -- I notice at least one other problem with it -- but I'd like to parse it. Relevant excerpts appear to be: <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- um.menuCode[i].replace(/<\/(li|ul)>/ig,'</$1>\n'); --> </script> goahead() identifies the next interesting part of the page as the </$1> inside the javascript. It's not seeing the comment. Should it? I changed interesting_cdata to lookup for <! as one interesting possibility and it parsed the comment successfully. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Fred L. Drake, Jr. (fdrake) Date: 2006-05-02 16:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=3066 The "<!--" hackery is used to deal with really old browsers that don't understand <script>. Technically, all it should have to look for is "</". Closing as not worth changing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1076070&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
