you need to do something like this:

on mouseUp
repeat for each word theWord in theText
  if theWord = "<SPAN" then
    add one to x
  else if theWord = "</SPAN>" then
    if x = 1 then
       --you found the right  /span here
    end if
    subtract one from x
  end if
end repeat

Hi all,

I've got a scripting problem that seems ridiculously simple.

I have to find the corresponding end tag in a HTML file with nested <SPAN> tags:

<SPAN class="FOOTNOTE">
<SPAN Class="reference">
origin
</SPAN>
<SPAN Class="quote">
<SPAN Class="smallcaps">
Text
</SPAN>
more text
</SPAN>
</SPAN>

Some of the tags are nested. How do I find the end tag of each SPAN tag? The tag on line 1 has its end tag on line 11, but the first time it sees </SPAN> is on line 4...
