    <p>I have been trying to parse webpages by use of the HTML DomObject in order to use them for an application to scan them for SEO quality.</p> <p>However i have run into abit of a problem. For testing purposes i've written a small html page containing the following incorrect html :</p> <pre><code>&lt;head&gt; &lt;meta name="description" content="randomdesciption"&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;title&gt;sometitle&lt;/title&gt; </code></pre> <p>As you can see the title is outside the head tag wich is the error i am trying to detect.</p> <p>Now comes the problem, when i use curl to catch the responce string from this page then send it to the dom document to load it as HTML it actually fixes this by ADDING another tags around the title.</p> <pre><code>&lt;head&gt; &lt;meta name="description" content="randomdesciption"&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;sometitle&lt;/title&gt;&lt;/head&gt; </code></pre> <p>I have checked the curl responce data and that infact is not the problem, somehow the php DomDocument during the execution of the loadHTML() method fixes the html syntax.</p> <p>I have also tried turning off the DomDocument recover, substituteEntities and validateOnParse attributes by setting them to false, without succes.</p> <p>I have been searching google but i am unable to find any answers so far. I guess it is abit rare for some one that actually want the broken HTML not being fixed.</p> <p>Anyone know how to prevent the DomDocument from fixing my broken html?</p> <p>Thanks in advance</p>

    1. COHave you considered running your markup through [tidy](http://php.net/tidy) before passing it to DOM, or even in lieu of DOM? It's a useful extension for detecting markup errors.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
