That sounds about right.. I will give that a try and see how it works, Thanks :explode:

You'll have to set the server up to parse .htm first as ASP and then return HTML.

Or you could use an ASP or other server-side script to parse the XML file and create another HTML-compatible file, which you finally include into your main HTML page using SSI (server-side includes).

Another possibility is to use that same ASP parsing script, but to include the HTML code using frames... avoid this method if you can. Frames aren't a good idea.

Ok I redid the xml file: azodusa.com/golf/golfrss.xml

But I am having trouble on how to link this stuff on an external .htm file. I can't find any good information on any of these links on how to do it. Most have it on .asp, but I know it's possible on an .htm file. Any ideas on that?

Also, typo:

</item>

</chann<strong>n</strong>el>
</rss>

I'm not sure... your xml page is the one displaying a parsing error.

Did you put the xml code at the top like this...
<?xml version="1.0" ?>'

*phew* some confusing stuff here I guess lol

I created an .xml file: azodusa.com/golf/golfrss.xml

and from what I learned on these sites, THIS should work:

<?php
=getXML("http://www.azodusa.com/golf/golfrss.xml") 
?>

for any .asp page wanting to display my feed. But when I try it on my page I get this:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'getXML'

/golf/testrss.asp, line 4

any ideas?

Also, it seems you want to create a feed yourself too. These articles explain how:

I've never done an rss feed myself, but doing a simple google search there seems to be tons of great information on the subject.

There's a nice introduction to rss at http://www.mnot.net/rss/tutorial/.
I'm sure you can get lots of info and links from this site.

Best of luck! Sounds like a fun project.

Looks like Abhishek Reddy and I were posting at the same time.
See... lots of great info out there.

RSS newsfeed, perfect. Yea that is what I am wanting.
So lets say now that I created this .xml file with the above Code.
How do I display that on my .asp or .htm site? The link you gave me showed how to do it via PHP.
