I know this has to be simple, but I haven't figured it out yet. I am using the RSS feeds script from the PS website. For a specific feed, there's crap returned and displayed on every feed that I'd like to get rid of. Not sure of the technical term, but I am sure one of you might.
How can I kill this crap in the script (copied from XML source for RSS page):
I think the handling is located in this portion of the PS, but I need a little guidance please.
// this function will parse the XML page and displays the current feed // it updates the screen function DisplayFeed() { if ((xmlPage !== null)&& (FeedInitialised===false) ) { var counter = 1; for each (var item in xmlPage.channel.item) { if (counter == currentFeed) { // this is the feed you want, get all info // strip out all html tags: wHeadline.label = stripHtml(item.title + '\n').wordWrap(40, "\n", false).trim(); var strippedDesc =stripHtml(item.description + '\n'); DisplayedFeedLines = strippedDesc.wordWrap(75, "\n", false).trim().split("\n"); FeedInitialised=true; } counter++; } numberOfFeeds = counter-1; wCounter.visible = true; wCounter.label = currentFeed + " / " + numberOfFeeds; }
The "link" section follows the "title" and "description" portions of the XML, which I'm sure might be pretty standard. I am hoping that the HTML stripping (in the script) is not necessary, as the entire "" portion of the XML should just be hidden, or not parse/ retrieve that portion of data.
