Look, what if I've got such a html: `<plaintext></plaintext><script>nasties;</script>'? HTML::Parser stops parsing after `<plaintext>' so that no interesting event is triggered on `<script>' tag and my sanitizer has no chance to rip out the nasties. Firefox (my 1st browser to test) happily resumes parsing after `</plaintext>' and that's the problem. Maybe it is the gecko people who are at fault. > > It results in weird effects for me as I write a HTML sanitizer for > > WebMail. > Howcome? Do you have a need to suppress this behaviour in HTML::Parser? Yes, I'd like to have an option to resume parsing after `</plaintext>' just as firefox does. As I understand the original intentions now I'll try to produce a patch. -- Alex Kapranoff, #!/usr/bin/perl -w $SIG{__WARN__}=sub{print substr("@_",-43+ord$_,1)for '6.823O1US90:350:739OJ;0:*'=~m}.}g},$}='PJlshrk';reset$}+43; </pre> </div> <div class="msgButtons margintopdouble"> <ul class="overflow"> <li class="msgButtonItems"><a class="button buttonleft " accesskey="p" href="msg05354.html">Previous message</a></li> <li class="msgButtonItems textaligncenter"><a class="button" accesskey="c" href="index.html#05355">View by thread</a></li> <li class="msgButtonItems textaligncenter"><a class="button" accesskey="i" href="maillist.html#05355">View by date</a></li> <li class="msgButtonItems textalignright"><a class="button buttonright " accesskey="n" href="msg05362.html">Next message</a></li> </ul> </div> <a name="tslice"></a> <div class="tSliceList margintopdouble"> <ul class="icons monospace"> <li class="icons-email"><span class="subject"><a href="msg05340.html">HTML::Parser & <plaintext> tag</a></span> <span class="sender italic">Alex Kapranoff</span></li> <li><ul> <li class="icons-email"><span class="subject"><a href="msg05354.html">Re: HTML::Parser & <plaintext> tag</a></span> <span class="sender italic">Gisle Aas</span></li> <li><ul> <li class="icons-email"><span class="subject"><a href="msg05362.html">Re: HTML::Parser & <plaintext> tag</a></span> <span class="sender italic">Alex Kapranoff</span></li> <li><ul> <li class="icons-email"><span class="subject"><a href="msg05362.html">Re: HTML::Parser & <plaintext> tag</a></span> <span class="sender italic">Alex Kapranoff</span></li> <li><ul> <li class="icons-email"><span class="subject"><a href="msg05356.html">Re: HTML::Parser & <plaintext> t...</a></span> <span class="sender italic">Gisle Aas</span></li> </ul> </ul> </ul> </ul> </ul> </div> <div class="overflow msgActions margintopdouble"> <div class="msgReply" > <h2> Reply via email to </h2> <form method="POST" action="/mailto.php"> <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Re: HTML::Parser & <plaintext> tag"> <input type="hidden" name="msgid" value="20041111081114.GA21013@capella.park.rambler.ru"> <input type="hidden" name="relpath" value="libwww@perl.org/msg05355.html"> <input type="submit" value=" Alex Kapranoff "> </form> </div> </div> </div> <div class="aside" role="complementary"> <div class="logo"> <a href="/"><img src="/logo.png" width=247 height=88 alt="The Mail Archive"></a> </div> <form class="overflow" action="/search" method="get"> <input type="hidden" name="l" value="libwww@perl.org"> <label class="hidden" for="q">Search the site</label> <input class="submittext" type="text" id="q" name="q" placeholder="Search libwww"> <input class="submitbutton" name="submit" type="image" src="/submit.png" alt="Submit"> </form> <div class="nav margintop" id="nav" role="navigation"> <ul class="icons font16"> <li class="icons-home"><a href="/">The Mail Archive home</a></li> <li class="icons-list"><a href="/libwww@perl.org/">libwww - all messages</a></li> <li class="icons-about"><a href="/libwww@perl.org/info.html">libwww - about the list</a></li> <li class="icons-expand"><a href="/search?l=libwww@perl.org&q=subject:%22Re%5C%3A+HTML%5C%3A%5C%3AParser+%5C%26+%3Cplaintext%3E+tag%22&o=newest&f=1" title="e" id="e">Expand</a></li> <li class="icons-prev"><a href="msg05354.html" title="p">Previous message</a></li> <li class="icons-next"><a href="msg05362.html" title="n">Next message</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="listlogo margintopdouble"> </div> <div class="margintopdouble"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer" role="contentinfo"> <ul> <li><a href="/">The Mail Archive home</a></li> <li><a href="/faq.html#newlist">Add your mailing list</a></li> <li><a href="/faq.html">FAQ</a></li> <li><a href="/faq.html#support">Support</a></li> <li><a href="/faq.html#privacy">Privacy</a></li> <li class="darkgray">20041111081114.GA21013@capella.park.rambler.ru</li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>
