Hi,

yes, of course it's possible ;-) (and there's More Than One Way To Do It ...) But implementing all of CSS Level 2 (or a large subset of it) to combine it with a HTML parser is, well, a lot of work. I thought maybe someone had already done that, or there was some module to do it. Not that I don't want to give it a try; rather, I'd not waste time doing something someone else has already done.

I'm also rather new at Perl, so it would probably take rather long. Since I have a specific set of tasks that I would need to check, maybe I can use HTML::Tree and the CSS distribution after all. Although I must say that I find the documentation of the CSS distribution lacking, and wonder why there are no methods to navigate the object tree- probably will just have to access the properties directly and have a look at the code.

Thanks for the reply!


John
