Using Scrubyt on bad markup pages

I am having trouble scrubbing a page that has bad markup. After
fetching the page, the Scrubyt::Extractor exits while parsing the
document. The Apple Safari web inspector shows numerous errors from the
page:

is not allowed inside . Moving into the . Unmatched encountered. Ignoring tag. Unmatched encountered. Ignoring tag. Unmatched encountered. Ignoring tag.

Is there anyway to scrub a page with scrubyt that is poorly formated? I
am using the latest version (0.4.1) of scrubyt.

Thanks,
Rolin

switch to mechanize and update your gems. scrubyt depends on hpricot
and a very old version of mechanize. Mechanize now uses nokogiri
instead of hpricot and is much more resilient with errors.

Thank you, I will try to use Mechanize directly. However, when I
installed scrubyt 0.4.1 it did appear to have a dependency on nokogiri.
I’ve cut and pasted the standard output.
