HTML parsing with Xerces

[Hans Bijvoet]

Hello,
I'm trying to parse a HTML document with the SAX parser from Xerces.
The parser throws a fatal error when attribute values in the document are
not surrounded by quotes?
How can I prevent this parser's behaviour?
Greetings,
Hans

Which Xerces? Perhaps using a parser configuration which uses a HTML
scanner, as you know HTML is not XML compatible. For Java there's
one from Andy Clarck's CyberNeko Tools for XNI (I haven't tried it
myself, though):
