The objective of the package is to provide a fast and
|
|
essential HTML check (esp. for CGI scripts where response
|
|
time is important) to prevent a piece of user input HTML
|
|
code from messing up the rest of a file, i.e., to minimize
|
|
and localize any possible damage created by including a
|
|
piece of user input HTML text in a dynamic document.
|
|
|
|
HTMLQuickCheck checks for unmatched < and >, unmatched
|
|
tags and improper nesting, which could ruin the rest of
|
|
the document. Attributes and elements with optional end
|
|
tags are not checked, as they should not cause disasters
|
|
with any decent browsers (they should ignore any
|
|
unrecognized tags and attributes according to the
|
|
standard). A piece of HTML that passes HTMLQuickCheck may
|
|
not necessarily be valid HTML, but it would be very
|
|
unlikely to screw others but itself. A valid piece of HTML
|
|
that doesn't pass the HTMLQuickCheck is however very
|
|
likely to screw many browsers(which are obviously broken
|
|
in terms of strict conformance).
|
|
|
|
HTMLQuickCheck currently supports HTML 1.0, 2.x (draft),
|
|
3.0 (draft) and netscape extensions (1.1).
