I am putting together a 3-column page and I am want to show a local news RSS in the "left" column under my navigational menu.

As recommended, I downloaded what I need from Dynamic Drive and added it to my page, but it's not wokring. I am hoping that the experts here can help me to get this squared away and working.

What I downloaded is HERE.

I have not worked with scripts yet so I have no clue what I am doing. Can anyone help me out here with this?????

Anyway, here is the HTML:

</div>
<div class="news">
<script type="text/javascript">

var cssfeed=new gfeedfetcher("example1", "example1class", "")
cssfeed.addFeed("CSS Drive", "http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/topstory.rss") //Specify "label" plus URL to RSS feed
cssfeed.displayoptions("date") //show the specified additional fields
cssfeed.setentrycontainer("li") //Display each entry as a list (li element)
cssfeed.filterfeed(10, "title") //Show 10 entries, sort by date
cssfeed.init() //Always call this last

</script>
</div>


And here is the CSS:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=ABQIAAAA4JQq9H3mwY70Hnjckda0ThSNU_hnZ9bm 3pgrNOb287VQ6sa5hRQpck1NARAdPHG4WsQr0K-5Out-Nw">
</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="gfeedfetcher.js">

<style type="text/css">

.labelfield{ /*CSS for label field in general*/
color:brown;
font-size: 90%;
}

.datefield{ /*CSS for date field in general*/
color:gray;
font-size: 90%;
}

#example1 li{ /*CSS specific to demo 1*/
margin-bottom: 4px;
}

code{ /*CSS for insructions*/
color: red;
}

</style>


You can see what I am trying to do HERE.

Thanks,

and this is a CSS issue because???

I don't know if this is a CSS problem or not Chrishirst. That's why I came here for expert help. If the problem isn't CSS (since I am obviously not as well versed as you), just say so and I'll move on.

RSS = Really Simple Syndication. It's use is for "sharing" data from a given site with other sites or interested parties eg RSS readers.

CSS = Cascading Style Sheet, used for styling HTML to make it look pretty.

So which are you actually having a problem with? and what IS the problem you are having?
From there we can offer advice and/or move this thread to the best place.
