pls help: how to treat certain tags as content only?

[Rene Chan <rc...@inktomi.com>]

Hi,

I've posted this before but didn't see any response.  Can someone who knows
about this pls helpA?


I have a question about how to selectively disable parsing of certain tags?
The situation is I have a html file that displays well in browser but not
conform to the xHTML standard, can I still use xerces-c to do some parsing,
say i have:

<html>

<head>
        <title>my page</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<a name="top_of_page"></a>
<a href="http://www.someplace.com"><img
src="http://www.someplace.com/aaa/images/1.gif" hspace="0" vspace="0"
width="10" height="1" border="0" alt="Do this" align="right"></a>
</body>

</html>

The IMG tag doesn't conform, can I do some preconfiguration to ignore
certain tags so I only parse <a>, <html>, <head>, <body> and treat the rest
as content only?  I still want to parse this doc but don't want the
bad-formness of it stops the processing and I am not interested in some tags
that are mis-used most of the time.


Thanks,

Rene
