Syntax highlighting

[RSteinwand]

Hi Albert.

I felt bad that you put out a new beta w/o any input from me. Works well tho.

I'm seeing an issue where syntax highlighting is stopping in my script section (at the end of the body) when it finds > in a quote. I believe this issue exists in older versions as well.

example:
<script type="text/javascript">
function displayMessage(){showMsg('This is a long message sent to a procedure<br />that displays it using html');}
</script>

I don't get a Tidy error, but the syntax gray background ends at the end of "<br />" before the "t" in "that". If I use "\n", older browsers don't show the new line.

Hi Rick,

I'm sorry for the delay. I reproduced the problem and passed this on to the editor developers.

Thanks Albert.

Hi Rick,

The editor developers have fixed the parser scheme. Can you try the new scheme linked below and let me know if it fixes the problem?
http://www.htmlvalidator.com/ParserSchemes/HTML.xml

You'll need to replace your current HTML.xml file, which is probably stored in a location like "C:\Program Files (x86)\HTMLValidator110\ParserSchemes\syntax\HTML.xml"

(x86)? Nice call.

Yes, it fixes it. I assumed I'd have to have a program update to fix it.

Thanks.

(x86)? Nice call.

That's the standard location for 32-bit programs when using 64-bit Windows (C:\Program Files (x86)\).

Yes, it fixes it. I assumed I'd have to have a program update to fix it.

Great. Let me know if you encounter any other problems with the syntax highlighting. There's a good change such issues can be addressed by fixing the XML parser scheme files. The new scheme file will be included in future updates.

Hi Albert, this problem still exists. This will reproduce it (two breaks):

<script type="text/javascript">
function displayMessage(){showMsg('This is a long message sent to a procedure<br /><br />that displays it using html');}
</script>

I'll email you a sample that has the issue at the top and bottom script sections.

I'm also seeing this anomaly, the script highlight extends from the open script to the end of the closing div tag:

<script type="text/javascript">Copyright();</script></div>

Hi Rick,

Thank you but I cannot reproduce this problem. Are you sure you installed the new parser scheme correctly? You might also want to search your drive for "HTML.xml" and make sure all copies are updated.

Also, this registry key should point to the updated HTML.xml file:
"SchemeFileV110" in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AI Internet Solutions\CSE HTML Validator v4\FileTypesAndParsers\V9_SYNTAX_HTML\"

Nevermind. I had to copy the syntax xml file again after updating to beta 5.
