Help with SAX parsing

Hi everybody!
I have a little problem working with libxml SAX API.
The problem is that I don't know how to stop parsing when I have
processed the data I need. I don't want to parse all file, I only need
read until I reach certain part of the xml and then stop parsing.
Does anybody know how to stop?

Another question is, Is necessary free any memory when I am using SAX
API?
I only call to "xmlSAXUserPars eFile" and then callbacks "call me" so I
store the values in my own data structures and I never release
"nothing". Is this right?

Thanks to all.

PS: I would be very nice if some of you can tell me a good SAX API
tutorial.

I don't know about libxml and C but with SAX2 in Java your handlers need
to throw an error to force the parser to abort parsing.

Right, maybe there is a way with that libxml SAX API and C to have the
handler indicate an error but I can't help with that stuff. You could
try the mailing list
<http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml>
for libxml.

Hi, This is a newbie's question. I want to preload 4 images and only when all 4 images has been loaded into browser's cache, I want to start a slideshow() function. If images are not completed loaded into cache, the slideshow doesn't look very nice.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
