The DOM model constructed by JTidy for HTML seems to be erroneous. When
JTidy parses HTML it produces a DOM for the HTML. When attempting to
traverse this model, I have found that it does not get the structure
correct. For example, given the following code from Netcenter:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<!-- saved from url=(0025)http://home.netscape.com/ -->
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Netcenter</TITLE>
<META content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"
http-equiv=Content-Type><!--REPLACE_START_QWEST5--><!--REPLACE_END_QWEST5-->
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript type=text/javascript><!--
if (parseFloat(navigator.appVersion) <
3){document.write('<FRAMESET>');location.href="http://home.netscape.com/comp
uting/download/upgrade_index.html";}
else if
((parseFloat(navigator.appVersion)>=5)&&((navigator.appName=="Netscape")||(n
avigator.appName=="Mozilla"))){location.href="http://home.netscape.com/index
1.html";}// --></SCRIPT>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
When getting the parent of the <SCRIPT ...> tag here (via the org.w3c.dom
package included with JTidy), JTidy returns:
<META content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv=Content-Type>
as its parent, where the <HEAD> tag should be returned as its parent. This
appears to be an error in JTidy. Response/suggestions/reprimands are
welcome.
Thanks,
Scott
