XML embedded in HTML

[Syedur]

I need some help on prasing or embedding XML into an HTML document...

for example... if my XML document is the following:
[code:sycqau0o7n]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<rss version="2.0"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/"
xmlns:admin="http://webns.net/mvcb/"
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/">

<channel>
<title><$MTBlogName remove_html="1" encode_xml="1"$></title>
<link><$MTBlogURL$></link>
<description><$MTBlogDescription remove_html="1" encode_xml="1"$></description>
<dc:language>en-us</dc:language>
<dc:creator><MTEntries lastn="1"><$MTEntryAuthorEmail$></MTEntries></dc:creator>

<sy:updateBase>2000-01-01T12:00+00:00</sy:updateBase>
<MTGlobalEntries include_blogs="1,9,8" lastn="15">
<item>
<title><$MTEntryTitle remove_html="1" encode_xml="1"$></title>
<link><$MTEntryLink encode_xml="1"$></link>
<guid isPermaLink="false"><$MTEntryID$>@<$MTBlogURL$></guid>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<$MTEntryBody$>]]></content:encoded>
<dc:subject><$MTEntryCategory remove_html="1" encode_xml="1"$></dc:subject>
<dc:date><$MTEntryDate format="%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S"$><$MTBlogTimezone$></dc:date>
</item>

</MTGlobalEntries>
</channel>
</rss>[/code:sycqau0o7n]

I tried something like this...

[code:sycqau0o7n]
<xml id="blogs" src="index.xml"></xml>
<table width="150" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" datasrc="#blogs">
<tr>
<td width="10" valign="top" class="col1title">*#8226;
</td>
<td width="140" valign="top"><span datafld="description"></span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>[/code:sycqau0o7n]

But, it displays nothing!

Thanks..

IE:
inhoud=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
inhoud.async="false";
inhoud.load("index.xml");

Moz:
inhoud = document.implementation.createDocument("", "", null);
inhoud.addEventListener("load", documentLoaded, false); //not needed. (goto function documentLoaded)
inhoud.load("index.xml");

and can use it like:
var x = inhoud.getElementByTagNam("tagname")[0];
var y = x.getElementByTagName("subitem")[0].firstchild.data;
(in xml like: <tagname><subitem>information</subitem></tagname>)

if you would use a attribute:
x.getAttribute("subject");
(in XML like: <tagname subject="something"/>)

set it to HTML:
var z = document.getElementById("element");
z.innerHTML = y;
(in HTML like: <div id="element"></div>)

Syedur, why would you want to include your RSS feed into a normal HTML page?

Yeah this is one use for the HTML link tag right?

[code:anjmdthnin]<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="lala.rss">[/code:anjmdthnin]

Of course you could do it properly using XML, XHTML and this using namespaces but the massive majority of browsers wouldn't support it (i.e. application+xml).

Actually, the majority of new browsers support this. Yes, this excludes IE6.

I am trying to tie in some blogs together and have one page to display that information. The thing is, it can be done easily with MT Scripts and without any rss feed. But, the page I am going to create is not going to be generated via MT. Therefore, I am generation global XML files via MT and then having those data display in the HTML/PHP page.

Irrelevant. Read what I said:

WinIE5 and WinIE6 represent something like 95% of browsers being used today.

Opera don't support XML.
but Moz support XML perfect.
and IE support XML on Microsoft own way with ActiveX.

And because IE don't support application+xml, you can better made a text/html page, and load xml, and don't made the complete page true XML based.
Use XML just for information handling, and don't use for styling.

I don't know how it works with rss, and i don't know where it is for.

No. Not a good idea to send XHTML in text/html.

Tim: browsers are a different thing than browser usage. But it is, as you said, irrelevant

Pewprod: Opera7 supports XML, but not JavaScript inside a XML document. Read more on RSS: http://www.matthom.com/archive/2003/11/05/01/
