HTML RSS Viewer
Aug 04, 2003
My second candidate for immortaliy is a follow-up from my "How to Create An RSS Feed..." paper I wrote last week. One of the problems with RSS is that you need a viewer - or web server software - in order to read it. I have written an RSS viewer you can use with your browser; it is written completely in Javascript, HTML, RSS and XSLT. Now because of browser security issues, it must be run on your own computer, not a website. And you have to use Internet Explorer; Mozilla's security provisions are too strict. For those who are following the SCORM debates, the RSS viewer instantiates the exact issue SCORM designers are facing: how to merge content from multiple sources on a single browser. My tool is no solution to the issue (not for a lack of trying), but at least it works. And if you have a solution that lets my code work on the web, send it to me!
