It all depends how your own feed is set up, and may even require some regular expressions if the data isn’t sent back in a nice format.

JavaScript strings have a search method that is used to look for matches against certain expressions, but you may need to look around a bit for a strong query that finds image tags.

Good luck

Stephen,
It works well for me, but how can I parse the image url from our rss? I’m trying to display image thumbnail instead of list of titles. Please advise.

Rgds,

The box at the top of that page collects feed URLs based on search terms, that’s why “People, E-Online, TMZ” is in there to start off.

So for example if you type in “Stephen McIntyre feed” it will find my RSS feed, but directly typing in the URL won’t.

Alternatively you can copy the generated code into your page and replace the URLs in the “feeds” array with the ones you want to use.

Good luck

Btw, there is nothing wrong with the rss-feed im trying to embedd, for example google reader accepts the feed just fine, i just dont get it to work with the google ajax feed api.

I’m not quite sure what you mean, but in any case Google shouldn’t be sending you emails or asking that you download anything to your computer – especially if it’s stopping you from visiting websites. Perhaps you should look into this a bit more.

Stephen,
You might be impressed with this so called API feed from Google,but there are others like myself who are really fed up with getting messages which are unasked for delivered to my computer from people like Google telling me that i have to have this stuff on MY computer.Perhaps you can tell me how i can stop them doing this as it is stopping me from going to my usual websites.It is an intrusion of privacy.Thank you.
