How do I display an XML feed from another site on my web page (Not Yahoo-related)?

I wish to show an XML feed from another website on my main page. Something like an iframe might work, but I have no idea since I don%26#039;t know anything about RSS.

Try http://www.tickermyfeed.com/. It generates the code you require to place the RSS on your website. I%26#039;m not very sure how reliable their service is, but it%26#039;s free. If you have problems with it, send me a message at my website http://tash.inspired4real.com and I will help you.

Basically, you need an RSS aggregator on your site; to do that, you need PHP, or CGI/Perl, or ASP.NET or some other scripting language.



There are a number of these types of programs pre-packaged out there. My demonstration site -- http://www.ihatesspam.com -- contains a version of a PHP aggregator that you could customize.



Otherwise, just Google %26quot;RSS PHP,%26quot; %26quot;RSS ASP.NET,%26quot; or the like, and you can find programs that will do this for you.



Also, take a look at http://www.asp.net (For ASP.NET) and http://www.phpbuilder.com (for PHP) to find free RSS aggregators.



Other Replys:If you don%26#039;t have the ability to run php, asp, etc. and only client script, you could write an RSS agregator using Ajax JavaScript, but you%26#039;d have to develop skill in both RSS syntax and Ajax usage. This is a task for a fairly advanced programmer.
