HTML comparing tools

Hi,

Could anyone tell me which are all the BEST HTML difference finding
tools
available. I mean the visual difference and give a report file either
in text or HTML format. I used DiffDoc(Sharewa re) tool from
SoftInterface.I nc,
but this tool is not providing me the proper output.
(PS: The inputs that I have are 2 HTML pages with some differences
like:
old one has : Edit box
new one has : DropDown or Combo Box in place of the above edit box

old one has :some URL(link)
new one has: the link is deleted

old one has : A button with Edit caption on it
new one has : The above button with Modify caption on it
....and so on)

Thanks in advance,
Anil.

Hello,

There used to a diff tool for XML that ran on Windows. It was pretty
good. But I can't remember the name right now.

Here is another one that is pretty good as well.

Hi Saqib,

I was looking for HTMl diff tool. The one you mentioned is a XMl diff
tool.
The home page http://www.logilab.org/projects/xmldiff/project_view
says:

Category: XML
License: GPL
Language: Python
XMLdiff is a python tool that figures out the differences between two
similar XML files, in the same way the diff utility does it for text
files. It was developed for the Narval project and could also be used
as a library or as a command line tool. It can work either with XML
files or DOM trees

HTML is just a DTD (Document Type Definition) that conforms to XML
standards.

HTML isn't a DTD. It is a language that conforms *to* a DTD--an SGML DTD.
HTML (other than XHTML) doesn't conform to XML rules, and will choke an
application that requires valid XML as input.

Could you suggest any other tool.

Hello everyone, Me again. Trying to learn some more :>) I hope I got the terminology right. How does a browser parse (correct term?) an HTML document. I'm sure that every browser does it a little differently. Do they simply just read a document top-to-bottom and left-to-right and just display elements in the order in which they encounter them? Or, do they give priority to certain types of content? For instance, would a browser

Hi, I have table pairs that I need to compare, and produce another table that shows differences. I can't just open them in separate browser and look for differences, because I have many such table pairs, and so this process has to be automated. Tables can differ in a number of ways - columns and rows can be added or missing, values of cells can change. To see an example of the differences, I'm attaching below two tables.
