I'd sugest using an html parsing library to do this, but the mistake in your regexp is the '.+' part - you want to match any _whitespace_ not any character - \s+ should work (\s matches any whitespace char)

But also be careful with .* inside the attr, that will match " and <> too (the non greedy flag helps here but don't rely on it elsewhere!).

HTH,
JJ
