I'll check it out! When you say simple, can I extract data from forms in
html page by chance?

Thanks,

I think the HTML parser might be abandoned (RAA says the last update was
2001-07-10 13:35:40 GMT).

You might have better luck using (my) htmltokenizer.  It has a really
simple interface, and it might be more what you need:

http://raa.ruby-lang.org/list.rhtml?name=htmltokenizer

If you really want to use the html-parser, sorry, I can't help you.  I
never managed to understand how to work it, which is why I ported the
htmltokenizer.
