adding updated keyword news from yahoo on your site

hi guys,

all the way at the bottom left of this web page:

http://www.acommodity.com/

there are auto updating yahoo news there on a specific keyword term..

I do not believe it is javascript code since when you do a 'view source', you can see the news and keywords content. This is good for fresh search engine content.

Does anyone know how he put this type of auto updating yahoo keyword news content on his pages?

It's an RSS feed. You can do the same thing with any RSS reader script. CaRP is a good one IMO.

 

but how did he put it in his page? as far as I can tell his page is .html, not .php

yes, carp will let you put rss within web pages, but only as javascript or php, and as far as I can tell it is not javascript, and it cannot be php either because his page ends with .html extension???

You can configure Apache/Linux servers to parse .html pages with the PHP parser. PHP scripts are parsed on the server side so the output is pure HTML code. CaRP works this way. You can see an example that I built with .html pages being parsed as PHP with CaRP at the InterPlan site in my sig. It's pulling the blog headlines into the 'news' box under the left nav menu.
