    Do you want the RSS button that automatically appears on Firefox, or a manually inserted button on your html page ?

    I'm not sure with your question, but what do you mean by display box of RSS? Are you trying to create an RSS Feed from your website? If that's your question, solution to that will be creating XML

    sorry, didnt make myself clear. I want to use rss feeds from other website such as the bbc and use their rss feeds to display on my website. I've seen heard about something about 'simplepie' and using this for an rss display box but i'd rather have some advice first

    First of all,
    What language are you using?
    Do you know xml?
    Are you familiar with the various RSS formats (RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, ATOM, etc...)?

    If you're using PHP, then magpie or simplepie is probably a good start. But you're going to have to RTM on both of those.
