Hello there.
I have spent a very long time now just trying to figure out how the heck I add an xml/rss 'feed' to my website (automatically updated news) ??

Thank you.

if you have server somewhere that automatically updates the data you need..you only need to connect to it and parse the XML and display it in your page....but I guess thats what you are haing problems with??? right

if so give me some more details of it and I shall see to it..

Sorry, yes I do have the url to the .xml file

[Khalid Ali]

and ...?????

[swimp]

and.... I want to add that feed to my website...

(So that the content of the feed automatically shows up to my visitors)

[Khalid Ali]

I can not believe you...You want some one to write code for you without giving them any resources ???
funny...

Post your code that you have tried..and we'll go frm there..

write code for me? erh.. I just want to show the feed on my website..

the xml url is http://www.macminute.com/headlines.xml and I want this information to appear on my website..

For that I am pretty sure you will need a server side programming here is why.
MS has some active x components that you can embed in your javascript and get the xml file via HTTP,however as soon as you ould like to open in using a webserver you will get an access denied error....( I had not found any solution it )therefore you will need to use some sort of server side lang...if you are using this for a local machine or intranet without the use of a web server..then I can help you with that...
(all of the above is presuming that the feed is being served from another domain/web server)
