XML-RSS-JavaScript

LTjake on 2003-10-02T11:35:49

Inkdroid was asking about some code i had written to output RSS feeds as JavaScript. We talked about it a bit and decided it was a worthwhile thing to fix up and release to CPAN.

...and here it is!

It's highly style-able, and we've include a couple examples with the distribution. I must say though, that IE6/Win does some funky stuff to lists. :/

It's been fun having working together on the code, through CVS. I don't get to do that, generally. I hope to get the chance to work this way again in the near future.


More RDF fun

Another trick is to use XML CSS! Not quite as friendly tho. Altho if I were fancy, I'd go learn XSL and do it up better.

Neat. The particular itch we were trying to scratch was to allow people with only knowledge of HTML/CSS to easily incorporate syndicated content into their website.

The styles packaged with the distro were mostly pulled from listomatic), and are a demo'd here.
