Isaac: Unfortunately, there are rafts of broken syndication apps out there from authors who made the same assumption. :D RSS is a series of specifications, most of which come with all sorts of "common practices" baggage. (A number of which contradict one another.) If you don't know both specs and practices, you can't effectively write a generic parser. Particularly when you factor in Atom. Now, if you're just trying to make use of a single feed from a known, consistent producer, or if you're really, truly dedicated to diving into syndication minutiae, then rolling your own makes some sense. But I promise, it ain't simple. If it were, we wouldn't have spent two years building Atom 1.0. -- Roger Benningfield JournURL http://admin.support.journurl.com/ http://admin.mxblogspace.journurl.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
