Inertia, I guess. I tried that first, and it seems to work.<br>
<br>
I tend to use html5lib and/or BeautifulSoup instead of ElementTree, and<br>
that's mainly because I find the documentation for ElementTree is<br>
confusing and partial and inconsistent. Having various undated but<br>
obsolete tutorials and documentation still up on <a href="http://effbot.org" target="_blank">effbot.org</a> doesn't<br>
help.<br>
