In JDK 1.3 method HTMLDocument.getElement(String) does not work
correctly with tag <A>.
An example:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import javax.swing.text.*;
import javax.swing.text.html.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(String argv[]) {
String test="<HTML><TITLE>test</TITLE>"
+"<BODY><A href=\"www.sun.com\" id=\"magicid\">"
+"test</A></BODY></HTML>";
HTMLEditorKit c = new HTMLEditorKit();
HTMLDocument doc = null;
try {
doc = new HTMLDocument();
c.read(new StringReader(test),doc,0);
} catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("Unexpected exception " + e);
}
Element e = doc.getElement("magicid");
System.out.println("html: " + test);
System.out.println("Element: " + e);
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Output :
html: <HTML><TITLE>test</TITLE><BODY><A href="www.sun.com"
id="magicid">test</A></BODY></HTML>
Element: null

The JavaDoc states:
----
getElement
public Element getElement(String id)
Fetches the element that has the given id attribute. If the element can't
be found, null is returned. This is not thread-safe.
Since: 1.3
----
After the fix output of the test example is:
html: <HTML><TITLE>test</TITLE><BODY><A href="www.sun.com"
id="magicid">test</A></BODY></HTML>
Element: content
this is what it should be according to javadoc:
html: <HTML><TITLE>test</TITLE><BODY><A href="www.sun.com"
id="magicid">test</A></BODY></HTML>
Element: A
So, the current behavior is not consistent with the
current javadoc.
