DOM building process

[Karthick Jayaraman-2]

Hello Everybody,

Can someone explain to me the DOM building process with some pointers
to the portions in the source code, please.

I understand how the Tokenizer interacts with the Parser and creates
HTML elements corresponding to tags. However, I am not able to pin
down the portions in the source code that add attributes to the HTML
element. I set breakpoint to the Element::setAttribute functions, but
I dont see the parser calling it.

I appreciate your help.

I’m not sure this query belongs in the webkit-dev list. I can’t tell  
if you are working on development of WebKit or not.

The HTML parser uses the setAttributeMap function to set the  
attributes of an element. This is done in the parseToken function.
