I'm having trouble tracking down a problem with a custom HText module
I've created, using the standard HTML parser. Specifically, I don't
understand how to obtain the address of a ChildAnchor with an absolute
URL.
The test HTML file contains the following line:
<A HREF="http://www.w3.org"> W3 </A>
When my custom HText_beginAnchor function is called, I call
HTAnchor_address(anc) to get the address of the provided anchor.
Unfortunately, the result is the address of the base file, rather than
the address of the anchor.
I traced the program flow into HTML_start_element, and I can see that the
href address is parsed correctly, but I am not clear on how the href
address is attached to the new ChildAnchor, since the ChildAnchor tag
field is unused.
When I call HTAnchor_address(anc), it returns the address of the *parent*
since the new ChildAnchor has no tag. Is this right?
If anyone who understands ChildAnchors could comment, I would appreciate
it.
