Thread: Fatal Error The element type "br" must be terminated while download image from flickr

Hi ,
I am downloading images from Flickr webserver using Flickr API.While parsing the url using document object

I got the fatel error:
[Fatal Error] ?method=flickr.photos.getRecent&api_key=myapikey&t ags=&per_page=10&page=1:16:155: The element type "br" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</br>".

The requested url to download the image is :-
"http://www.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photos.getRecent&api_key=myapikey&t ags=&per_page=10&page=1"

Below is the method that parses the content.

protected Document getFlickrData(String method, Map<String, String> params)
throws MalformedURLException, SAXException, IOException, FlickrException {
 
URL flickrRequestUrl = null; 
flickrRequestUrl = constructFlickrRequestUrl(method, params);
 
System.out.println("FlckrRequestUrl:" " " flickrRequestUrl);
 
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "myproxy.com"); 
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "8080"); 
 
Authenticator.setDefault( new HttpAuthenticator() ); 
 
System.setProperty("http.proxyUser", "kj0044135"); 
System.setProperty("http.proxyPassword", "password"); 
 
System.out.println("Document before parsing flickrRequestUrl:");
 
[B]Document document = xmlParser.parse(flickrRequestUrl.toString()); [/B]// Here I am getting exception
System.out.println("Document after parsing flickrRequestUrl:" " " document);
 
NodeList errors = document.getDocumentElement().getElementsByTagName("err");
 
if (errors != null && errors.getLength() > 0) {
System.out.println("Error occur");
throw new FlickrException((Element) errors.item(0));
}
 
return document; 
 
}

what is the problem in this.Please help my out here.

Thanks in advance.

The web page you are trying to download from has poor formatting and writing. basically within the HTML file you are downloading there is a br tag that doesn't have a closing br tag.
