[twill] Twill form parsing error depending on br tag formatting (missing form fields)

Sat Nov 4 14:43:58 PST 2006

Hello again --

Given the following HTML:
<html>
 <head>
  <title>Broken</title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <form name="login" method="post" action="test.cgi">
This works:<br />   <input name="username_ok" type="text" />
This does not:<br/>   <input name="username_whereami" type="text" />
  </form>
 </body>
</html>

twill finds the first input field but misses the second one. This appears to be because the BR tag is immediately closed rather than with an intermediate space (i.e. <br/> instead of <br />).

I believe this is legal HTML as well as XML. Any suggestions?

Thx,

Ramon
