if I give (doc2/'metas').inner_html

<meta name="date" /><metastring name="value">test</metastring><meta
name="url" /><metastring name="value">test1</metastring><meta name="job"
/><metastring name="value">testdata</metastring><meta name="url"
/><metastring name="value">21546</metastring>

I am not able to understand why the <meta> tag gets closed before
enclosing <metasring> as in the xml

i expeced the result as <meta name="date"><metastring
name="value">test</metastring><meta>

Kindly help
