/*
  The regular expression below is used in John Resig's HTML parser written in JS, which 
  I was trying to use in an Adobe Fireworks extension to construct tables from HTML 
  source.  In a browser, from IE6 on up, it produces:

    [<table border="1">,table, border="1",""]

  In Fireworks' JS parser, derived from Mozilla code released in *1998*, it produces:

    null

  Thanks, Adobe!
