Sorry bout that - the web page hasnt been updated for a while. You will need
to create a feedback object. If you dont need feedback from the parser, use
the default one that we've provided in the com.kizna.html.util package.

Try this :

* Below is some sample code to parse Yahoo.com and print only the text
information. This scanning
* will run faster, as there are no scanners registered here.
HTMLParser parser = new HTMLParser("http://www.yahoo.com",new
DefaultHTMLParserFeedback());
// In this example, none of the scanners need to be registered
// as a string node is not a tag to be scanned for.
for (Enumeration e = parser.elements();e.hasMoreElements();) {
    HTMLNode node = (HTMLNode)e.nextElement();
    if (node instanceof HTMLStringNode) {
     HTMLStringNode stringNode = (HTMLStringNode)node;
     System.out.println(stringNode.getText());
    }
}

Let us know if you still face problems.

Regards,
Somik
