jQuery.htmlClean

Sat, 27 September 2008

This is a small add-in for jQuery which will take dirty old html, say from ms Word, and give it a proper scrubbing.

The first release of this code will;

• fix self closing tags
• lower-case tags
• remove non-standard attributes
• remove class attributes
• remove in-line style attributes
• remove in-line event attributes
• tidy unnecessary white space and new lines
• remove conditional commenting
• remove proprietary word formatting tags

It does not give you a formatted result, it removes unnecessary white space and new line characters.

It also only returns the body of a html page. This will be a default option in the full version.

This is an open source project to be found at
