It wouldn't be terribly concise. without the CSS/XPath support. var req = getXMLHttpRequest(); if (req.overrideMimeType) req.overrideMimeType("text/xml"); req.open("GET", url, true); var d = sendXMLHttpRequest(req); d.addCallback(function (req) { var rssElements = req.responseXML.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("rss"); var rss_titles = getElementsByTagAndClassName("ul", "rss_titles") [0]; forEach(rssElements, function (rss) { var channelElements = rss.getElementsByTagName("channel"); forEach(channelElements, function (channel) { var items = channel.getElementsByTagName("item"); forEach(items, function (item) { var title = scrapeText(item.getElementsByTagName ("title")[0]); var link = scrapeText(item.getElementsByTagName ("link")[0]); appendChildNodes(rss_titles, LI(null, A({href: link}, title))); }); }); }); }); Clearly, MochiKit is not currently optimized for finding DOM nodes by anything more complicated by id. -bob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MochiKit" group.
