Can anyone help me figure out how to have a simple link rotator that flashes through the most recent articles from a website? I just want it to be simple and display a single link at a time, changing the link every few seconds. This seems like it should be so simple and I feel silly asking about it, but I can't get it myself and I can't seem to find any place that shows how to do it or does it for me. Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.
Getting RSS content from external website is a cross-domain thing, so you can't just get its content with plain HTML and javascript, I think? But if you're willing to take the hard way - just a bit - use server-scripting (like PHP). Once you get content (all items of RSS), you can control which, how many and frequent items to be displayed, etc etc. And this is mostly done with javascript...
