Works now. Borg has some forum code for claening out special characters before running an sql update.
 
I'm working with xsl this week so tonight I'll take a run at your xml and set one up for it to be built as an embedable table.
 
EDIT: You might want to make the channel description something a little more appropriate for viewing on other peoples sites. Right now, the description is geared for viewing from your site.

I've had a great day 'playing' with XML and am seeing loads of useful applications!

DP, I've renamed the main channel to the forum. Maybe I will also add some other channels later.

I am now trying to add the text of the "latest forum posts" to the RSS feed, but some of the posts formating is causing errors.

I have already found a function to remove the HTML tags, but what about all the other control codes such as '&#146;'  If these are not removed then errors in the XML code will result.

Any advise or suggestions would be very welcome.

Thanks

Nathan

Hi Nathan,

If you find some travel sites that are offering XML content or RSS feeds, I would appreciate an email. I'm designing sites for 2 clients that own US travel agencies. So far, it has been difficult to find any feeds from the travel industry that I can pull into their sites without extensive parsing.

You can directly email me at rex (at) rexpage (dot) com if you have time, or post here.

Thanks in advance.

Here's some code I use to replace asp code characters for display purposes. You could probably use code like it to do the reverse.
 
 strPageText = replace(strPageText,"&","&amp;")
 strPageText = replace(strPageText,"<", "&lt;")
 strPageText = replace(strPageText,">", "&gt;")
 strPageText = replace(strPageText,vbCRLF, "<br>")
 strPageText = replace(strPageText,vbTab, "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;")
 
I wasn't able to get to your xml file last night, but I played with it this evening. link to zip.
 
If you take the header and footer includes out of the asp file, you could just include the asp file in any page. The xsl style sheet could be used for any 1.0 or 2.0 rss feed - not sure about 0.91 as I think that has a DocType specified.
 
I embedded the css for the table within the xsl but it could also be copied into a linked site or page style sheet. Just a little easier for someone to modify the css this way.

DP, thanks Soooooo much. You have helped me cure all the problems with displaying the Forum message within the XML feed, PLUS given me a way to display the feed on other sites.

I'm really greatful. (Check your inbox, I'll try to email you a free holiday! )

My RSS feed is working really well now and my members love it!

Thanks everyone for your help

Nathan
