Very cool script. I did notice that either CGI.pm or html2cgi hiccup a bit with lists, whether or not the <li> tag is closed with a </li>. The following HTML chunk `<html> <head> <title>There is no title</title> </head> <body> <ul> <li>First item <li>Second item </ul> </body> </html>` [download] becomes `use CGI "-no_debug", ":html", "comment", "header"; print header, start_html("-title" => "There is no title"), ul ( ul ( li ( "First item ", ), "\n", li ( "Second item ", ), "\n", ), "\n", ), "\n", end_html, ;` [download] I have not run this back through CGI.pm to see the output, but it seems that something is adding an extra <ul> in there. (It adds an extra one for each <li> tag.) --t. alex "Excellent. Release the hounds." -- Monty Burns.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Somewhere recently I ran across something about a tool that strips out junk from Microsoft Office generated HTML (all that 'mso...' stuff). Come to think of it, it was HTML Tidy, which comes as an integral part of HTML Kit, a freely downloadable tool. If you have no intention of ever converting these files (or the output of your `CGI`-based perl code) BACK to Excel, it might be a viable option to download the command-line version of HTML Tidy and run it from your script before `html2cgi.pl`. dmm You can give a man a fish and feed him for a day ... Or, you can teach him to fish and feed him for a lifetime	[reply] [d/l] [select]

HTML Tidy has gone open source and is now at Sourceforge! It is being refactored into a C library and there is a new project to make it into an XS module. I expect a fruitful future for this wonderful program. It should work perfectly the first time! - toma	[reply]

Yah, but the problem is that I need to convert back to Excel. sighs ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age. Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.	[reply]
