XML/XSLT/RSS feeds

goldnmunk · July 18th, 2007, 06:52 AM

I have a server side RSS feed and would like to completely customise the way it looks and what is viewed. For instance, I don't want any links associated with it...only showing the content. How might I do this?

I was looking at XSLT to tranlate the XML feed but didn't know if this is possible considering the feed will be on a different server and I would be unable to edit it.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

Will your site be displaying the RSS feed? If so you can have the XSLT on your site. You will call the XML(RSS feed) and transform into what you want.

ye, that's basically exactly what I want to do!

Can you, or anyone reading this, please direct me to some gd websites on this subject or advise me on how to do this? That'd be great!

Thanks.

What type of framework are you using? There are about a dozen ways to do what you want. In ASP.NET its very easy.

If you can only use client-side script then what you want is extremely difficult as you will be loading a document from a different domain and manipulating it which is not allowed by the browser's security system.
