Yves GenestSubject: HTML to XML Wizard using badly-formed HTML as source

Hello,

I,m new to xml and Stylus. I have a set of HTML files that has badly formed HTML sections in it. The offending section is as follow:

<TABLE BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 width='486' >
<FORM>
<TR>
<script language="javascript">
<!---
var name = navigator.appName;
var Version = navigator.appVersion.substring(0,navigator.appVersion.indexOf("."));

if ((Version >= 4) && (name == "Netscape"))
{
document.writeln("<TD valign='top' class='tabOn' id='id1'>Hotels</TD>");
}
else
{
document.writeln("<TD valign='top' class='tabOn' id='id1'><INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME=res_type VALUE='1' onclick_='changeForm(this.value);' checked>Hotels</TD>");
}
//-->
</script>

</TR></FORM>
</TABLE>

As you can see, this code snippet generate a different TD tag depending on the browser type. The wizard generates the following xml:

<form>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
&lt;!---
var name = navigator.appName;
var Version =
navigator.appVersion.substring(0,navigator.appVersion.indexOf(&quot;.&quot;));

if ((Version &gt;= 4) &amp;&amp; (name ==
&quot;Netscape&quot;))
{
document.writeln(&quot;&lt;TD
valign=&#39;top&#39; class=&#39;tabOn&#39;
id=&#39;id1&#39;&gt;Hotels&lt;\/TD&gt;&quot;);
}
else
{
document.writeln(&quot;&lt;TD
valign=&#39;top&#39; class=&#39;tabOn&#39;
id=&#39;id1&#39;&gt;&lt;INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME=res_type
VALUE=&#39;1&#39; onclick_=&#39;changeForm(this.value);&#39;
checked&gt;Hotels&lt;\/TD&gt;&quot;);
}
//--&gt;

</script>
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width='486'>
</table>


as you can see the code as been reformatted and does not produce the result of the original html.

is there a way to get around this ? i don't care if for now the badly formed html get transfered as-is in the xml file.

Thanks

Hi, Yves. You can use HTML Tidy, which is bundled as an adpater in Stylus Studio. You can learn more about this in the following SSDN thread:

Hope this helps.

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply. I tried your solution and it works. The only problem is that I own the home version of Stylus (but still have access to the eval enterprise for ... 29 days!).

Can I add HTML Tidy as a custom tool in my home edition under the option menu ?

Does the pro version have this option?

How can I upgrade from home to pro?

Thanks

Hi, Yves. I'm glad the HTML Tidy adapter worked for you. XML converters (including HTML Tidy) are available only in the Enterprise version of Stylus Studio.

To upgrade Stylus Studio, contact our sales department at stylusstudio at stylusstudio dot com and explain your current situation.
