Hey guys, Okay I'm working on displaying a google's news feed and I can parse it ok in MagpieRSS. My problem is that the description displays the image (which I don't mind, but I hate how it's displayed) and then the discription (which I want to extract) and then associated links (which I don't want). How do I find out each part of the description (image, actual description, and links), so that I can eliminate them or play with each part seperately. What are the names of the various parts of the description? Skinny
Well This time I thought of looking at the source code. Seems like there is a table structure built into the description "field" that adds everything in (pic, snippet, and links). Does anyone know how I can just take out the snippet? and then display it using MagpieRSS (I know how to display it just need to know how to retrieve it)? Skinny
Alright Here's one example. This is what is part of what is displayed in the code for Google news under Sci/Tech for one headline. - <item> <title>Kids at greater risk of seeing online Internet porn than ever - iTWire</title> <link>http://news.google.ca/news/url?sa=T&ct=ca/0-0&fd=R&url=http://www.itwire.com.au/content/view/9241/53/&cid=1113336504&ei=TmHHRZCYK4jyoQKbj_y2Aw</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:news.google.com,2005:cluster=425c2ab8</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 05 Feb 2007 12:18:00 GMT</pubDate> <description><br><table border=0 width= valign=top cellpadding=2 cellspacing=7><tr><td width=80 align=center valign=top><a href="http://news.google.ca/news/url?sa=T&ct=ca/0i-0&fd=R&url=http://www.playfuls.com/news_06082_Web_Surfing_Exposes_Children_to_Unwanted_Porn_Content.html&cid=1113336504&ei=TmHHRZCYK4jyoQKbj_y2Aw"><img src=http://news.google.ca/news?imgefp=G-VSe9BbV2EJ&imgurl=www.playfuls.com/scitech/gimages/modsites2.jpg width=80 height=60 alt="" border=1><br><font size=-2>Playfuls.com</font></a></td><td valign=top><a href="http://news.google.ca/news/url?sa=T&ct=ca/0-0&fd=R&url=http://www.itwire.com.au/content/view/9241/53/&cid=1113336504&ei=TmHHRZCYK4jyoQKbj_y2Aw"><b>Kids at greater risk of seeing online Internet porn than ever</b></a><br><font size=-1><font color=#6f6f6f><b>iTWire -</font> <nobr>4 hours ago</nobr></b></font><br><font size=-1>By Alex Zaharov-Reutt.
