Greetings, everybody! I've discovered what I believe to be a bug in Tidy ver 27 Sep 1999. Here is a sample HTML file: <HTML> <HEAD><TITLE>Form</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY> <FORM ACTION="http://path/to/cgi/script" METHOD="post"> <P>Boolean: <SELECT NAME="boolean"> <OPTION> AND </OPTION> <OPTION> OR </OPTION> </SELECT> </FORM> </BODY> </HTML> Tidy generates the following output on my Indigo2 IRIX workstation: Tidy (vers 27th September 1999) Parsing "bug.html" line 10 column 23 - Warning: discarding unexpected plain text line 10 column 28 - Warning: discarding unexpected </option> line 12 column 23 - Warning: discarding unexpected plain text line 12 column 27 - Warning: discarding unexpected </option> "bug.html" appears to be HTML 2.0 4 warnings/errors were found! <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Form</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <FORM ACTION="http://path/to/cgi/script" METHOD="post"> <P>Boolean: <SELECT NAME="boolean"> <OPTION> </OPTION> <OPTION> </OPTION> </SELECT></P> </FORM> </BODY> </HTML> Why does it destroy the option text? The 26 July release did not have this problem: Tidy (vers 26th July 1999) Parsing "bug.html" "bug.html" appears to be HTML 2.0 no warnings or errors were found [snip] <P>Boolean: <SELECT NAME="boolean"> <OPTION> AND </OPTION> <OPTION> OR </OPTION> </SELECT></P> [snip] Incidentally, anybody know why Tidy validates my sample bug.html as HTML 2.0, when all the elements are 4.0 compliant?
