Question

Hi does anyone know of an HTML parser in Javascript? I need it to basically pull all the readable text out of the file for my tag cloud…not metatags only but everything within:

tags:

<meta><p><h1-3><textbox><textarea> 

basically you get the idea.

I saw John Resig’s but that changes everything to XML. Before I try and use that and then just parse the XML, which may be easier I don’t know, I wanted to see if there was something out there already.

Any help would be appreciate, until then I’ll just keep looking around or I might just make it myself .

Using jQuery, you could do something like this:

$(myfileContents).text();

Where myFileContents is a string containing the HTML in your file.
