Spurious <
by Richard Porter
I've found a very curious problem. At the bottom of a long table which
contains several forms I get a spurious "<" character. I have made a
change but I can't see a missing ">" or missing quote or anything that
would likely to cause it. When I stick in a "</table><table> at any
point between table rows to narrow down the location the spurious
character dissapears. It doesn't appear on other browsers.
I can't post a bug report because the html file is local and contains
hidden logins which I would have to alter.

Sounds like a rounding error. Please report this on the bug tracker.

New HTML parser integrated into NetSurf
by John-Mark Bell
Hi,
This morning, we merged into NetSurf the HTML parser that Andrew Sidwell
has been working on as his Google Summer of Code project. The new parser
is significantly more robust than the old one, particularly in the face of
invalid input (which is in excess of 90% of the pages on the web). This
change resolves more than 40 bug reports, which we will be closing in
the near future.

Assuming you mean maxlength="", then that's fixed in SVN.

What kind of dialogue are we talking about here? A Wimp error box or
something else?

It may be useful to run Wimpmon and have it log the relevant Wimp message
blocks to disc in raw format.
