Open the attached file "red_test.html" in a browser. The "bad" elements are blue because the style tag isn't parsed by any known browser. However, the HTMLParser library will incorrectly recognize them.

Thanks for the report.
Could you try with the latest 2.7 and see if you can reproduce the problem? (see the devguide for instructions.)

If you can reproduce the issue even on the latest 2.7, it would be great if you could provide a patch with a test case like the ones in Lib/test/test_htmlparser.py.

[MichaelBrooks]

Yes, I am running the latest version, which is python 2.7.2.

I mean 2.7.3 (i.e. the development version).
You need to get a clone of Python as explained here: http://docs.python.org/devguide/

[MichaelBrooks]

Python 2.7.3 is still affected by both of these issues.

I verified with the red_test.html you provided and now HTMLParser seems to parse everything correctly, so I'm closing this.
