I just had to drop in at this time and insert my comments.. HTML can be and in most cases very misused and not very structured. Now, if you can make sure that the HTML is structured correctly, then I would think that the MSHTML-DOM would suffice to create your tree.
However, you may also be able to write a recursive function to work on the IHTMLDocument2 Object Model. While I have not attempted it, it doesn't look like it would be too difficult to do. --- Stephen Posey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -----Original Message----- > >From: Chris Stebbing <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Sent: Apr 23, 2007 9:07 PM > >To: Delphi List <[email protected]> > >Subject: HTML Browser / Parser > > > >Hi All, > > > >this may seem like a strange request, but is there a program out > >there that will take a web page and break it down into a tree-like > >structure?
