Hi guys,   Sure this is probobly simple but my head just can't get around this issues... I'm trying to parse the HTML to start replacing/removing problem tags to meet W3C AA compliance and various other requirements. The first one i'm working on is removing the 'bgcolor' attribute of any table/tr/td tag. But using the ...

OK. Stick with me here. It is going to take me a few to explain this. I am writing a small application in VB.NET. The ultimate task is to make a web browser, within a web browser.

This page on php.net: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php describes pre_replace and c_stewart0a at yahoo dot com had the solution which is: "you will want to quote your searching expression with /" This did the job.
