Re: Loading a html file using DOM XML

DOMXML can basically only load well-formed XML documents and does this quite well. If it doesn't work, you are doing something wrong or your XML/HTML document is not wellformed. It's that simple.. And yes, FrontPage, doesn't produce well-formed code ;) But... There is a solution, which maybe helps, see http://ch.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domdocument-loadhtmlfile.php This function can load HTML into a DOM Document without having to be well-formed chregu On Sun, 29 Aug 2004 05:56:51 -0700, Sam Hobbs <socalsam@bigfoot.com> wrote: > I don't want a XML document!
