Well, the HTML:Parser perldoc says: HTML::Parser is not a generic SGML parser. We have tried to make it able to deal with the HTML that is actually "out there", and it normally parses as closely as possible to the way the popular web browsers do it instead of strictly following one of the many HTML specifications from W3C. Where there is disagreement, there is often an option that you can enable to get the official behaviour. But do all versions of IE parse this the same way? What do other popular user agents do? -- Reinier
