Bug in JTidy?

Thu, 26 Dec 2002 03:22:04 -0800

Hi all. I use an HTMLGenerator to tidy up the pages that I load, and I encountered a very strange behaviour concerning scripts. This is my input file:
test.html
 
<html>
 <head>
  <title>Testing JTidy page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <p>This is test</p>
    <table>
        <tr>
            <td>Hello world</td>
        </tr>
        <script language="JavaScript">
            document.write('<tr>');
            document.write('<td>');
            document.write('testing the JavaScript');
            document.write('</td>');
            document.write('</tr>');
        </script>
        <tr>
            <td>After script</td>
        </tr>
    </table>
  </body>
</html>
 
As you can notice, the script tag is not inside the tr/td tag, but it writes them, so the result table contains three rows (one of them output by the script).
This is the actual code that I took from somebody's page.
 
When I put this page into the pipeline, using HTMLGenerator (to tidy it), this is the VERY weird result that I get:
pipeline:
<map:match pattern="test">
    <map:generate src="" type="html"/>
    <map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>
 
the result shown in the Cocoon browser window:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<html>
    <head>
      <title>Testing JTidy page</title>
 </head>
    <body>
      <p>This is test</p>
      <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" />
     document.write(''); document.write(''); document.write('');
        <table>
            <tr>
              <td>Hello world</td>
         </tr>
            <tr>
              <td>'); document.write('testing the JavaScript'); document.write('</td>
         </tr>
  </table>
     <table>
        <tr>
         <td>After script</td>
     </tr>
  </table>
 </body>
</html>
 
The JTidy took out the script and messed the table!
 
Somebody encountered such behaviour when using HTMLGenerator?
I know that this is not really related to the Cocoon, but Cocoon uses JTidy, so I thought that somebody may have dealt with this thing already.
Also, I looked on the JTidy page on sourceforge, but I didn't find anything related to this.
 
Please, I somebody understands what going on with this JTidy feature, please help me.
 
Sorry for a not-so-related question.
 
Thank you very much for help.
