Does anyone know how to create an <a href="http://www.xulplanet.com/references/objref/HTMLDocument.html";>HTMLDocument</a> in JavaScript (presumably using XPCOM) without loading the page in a web browser? Once the page is rendered, it is easy to access the DOM, but I want to take advantage of Mozilla's HTML parser on many pages, so I don't want to display all of them in tabs just to activate the HTML parser on each one.
All of the XPCOM interfaces that I have looked at can parse XML documents without rendering them, but not (potentially malformed) HTML documents. I have already looked at nsIWebNavigation, nsIDocumentLoader, and nsISyncLoadDOMService and none of these seemed to do the trick. I would be pretty surprised if it were impossible to parse without displaying. Certainly from <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/docs/url_load.html";>this diagram</a>, that does not seem to be the case.
