Nice. So XMLUnit would be the second "forgiving" DOM parser. Have you tried jTidy? It has a similar forgiving parser and you can specify what things need fixin.

Sorry it was too late Zak. I've been sitting on it for about that long! Woops.

If you want the code it's in the Sandbox now (see tab bar).

Brilliant. If only I had this 2 weeks ago. I was looking for something like this as I was doing mass RichText->Mime/HTML conversions and found that Notes/Domino was converting RTF tables without closing the td tags. I got stuck trying to get HTMLTidy up and running properly.

Maybe if time permits I will impliment this code.

Hi Mark,

Woops. A bug in Ie7 for footer's CSS. Fixed now.

I can't imagine the load on teh server is too great. I hope not as it's a part of the solution I just sold you ;o)

There's no submit button on your demo form - not that I can see anyway. Fantastic idea though, I can think of many applications where this would be very handy. I wonder about the additional load it might put on the server but probably well worth it anyway.

This looks fantastic. Please could you supply the code prior to the dext release.
