Parsing & handling of object and param tags

Question

Hi all,
I'm working on allowing people to paste certain embedded video code into a wysiwyg / html editor we've built with the help of (amongst others) javax.swing.text.html.HTMLWriter.
I'm facing the following problem here:
When i try to parse the <object><param></param></object> piece, it removes the <param> tags, and incorporates these in the <object> tag. For example:
<object width="300" height="250"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param></object>becomes:
<object width="300" height="250" allowScriptAccess="always"></object>All param tags get converted into the object tag as String attributes. Problem with this is that the allowScriptAccess attribute is not a valid attribute of the object tag.
Is there any way to prevent this conversion so it will retain the <param> tags?
Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

This seems to be default behaviour in HTMLWriter, function Write().
There it retrieves all elements with their attributes. The attributes summed up in the param tags show up as attributes for the object tag.
