html-minifier and valid content in <object> tags?

[matt-bailey]

This is following on from my comment here: #45 (comment)

I've done a little more experimenting and discovered that certain html tags work inside <object> tags and others don't (they are moved to after the object tag).

For example, <img>, <span> and <i> all work ok, but <p> and <div> don't, i.e. inline level elements work, but not block level.

Having read up a little more on the <object> tag apparently you are allowed zero, or any number of <param> elements, plus 'transparent' content, i.e. content that is valid HTML5 even if these tags are removed.

I suspect therefore, that html-minifier is acting as intended and merely respecting valid html markup, but if you have any other insight into this I'd love to know :)

I think this is because some tags are wrongly registered in htmlparser. I have the same problem with the <iframe> tag. This one as well as the <object> tag are registered as block level (correct) as well as inline elements (wrong). If you remove them from the inline list in htmlparser.js, it works fine.
