Receiving an Error from the Flickr feed file???

I am receiving an error regarding the json file from Flickr. Here is my code:

$(document).ready(function () {
  $('button').click(function (){
    $('button').removeClass('selected');
    $(this).addClass('selected');
    var flickrAPI = "http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?dsjsonlocalback=?";
    var animal = $(this).text();
    var flickrOptions = {
      tags: animal,
      format: "json"
    };
    function displayPhotos(data) {
      var photoHTML = '<ul>';
      $.each(data.items, function(i, photo) {
        photoHTML += '<li> class="grid-25 tablet-grid-50">';
        photoHTML += '<a href= "' + photo.link + '" class="image">';
        photoHTML += '<img src= "' + photo.media.m + '"></a></li>';
      });
      photoHTML += '</ul>';
      $('#photos').hmtl(photoHTML);
    }
    $.getJSON(flickrAPI, flickrOptions, displayPhotos);
  });
}); 

The error is an uncaught reference error: jsonFlickrFeed is not defined and its referencing line 1 of api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?format=json#

Hey Britton,

In your flickrAPI variable, at the end of the URL, it should be: "photos_public.gne?jsoncallback=?".

Thanks Marcus. I found a couple other issues in my code, but your fix was the key. Much appreciated!!

Ah okay excellent! I just skimmed it and saw that first error and figured we'd tackle 'em as they came! :) You're very welcome. Happy Coding! =]
