In my website I have one RSS feed. I create it automatically when the content changes, using ASP.NET (but it can be written using PHP, JSP and so on).
Basically you have to learn the XML schema, used inside a RSS feed (a feed is simply a XML file). Try to open a feed with your text editor (for example one CodeProject feed!). The XML schema is self-explanatory.
After you created the XML data as a simple string, save it to a file onto the webserver.
You can also create a page that creates the feed's content on-the-fly at each request.
To tell your visitors that the page they're browsing contains a feed, put this tag inside the HEAD section:
Note that the feed's name (not the title) should be .xml for more compatibility, or at least .rss .
The fact you are trying to create a feed in a LAN environment makes no differences if you create it programmatically via-code.
There are 2 mainly used versions of the RSS specs, you can search specific infos in the Internet.
That's all...

Thank u so much for giving me a helping hand.
As i 've mentioned earlier,i know the steps to generate an rss but not in detail and some xml.
My need is also to create a feed for a site developed in ASP.NET. For that i need to develop a pgm which can create a feed, edit it as and when i change my contents and parse it(do u also have an RSS parser).
Hope u can help me with it.
regards,
jeeva

That seems to be more complicate.
I don't use a RSS parser, I only create the XML code and save it to a file, because I don't need to modify it 'manually'. Basically I',ve created set-it-and-forget-it RSS generator...
To parse a RSS feed you should use the System.Xml's classes. There is the XmlReader (abstract class, see the XmlTextReader and XmlNodeReader implementations) that reads from a file the XML code and returns the corresponding tags, respecting all the code's hierarchies.
Supposing that the RSS/XML is created 'by you', with XmlReader you can parse the code and so on.
Another option: the RSS feed can be generated only for the final usage, but the 'contents' can be stored elsewhere (DB?), so you can edit and update them easily, then recreate the RSS feed.
RSS is made only for 'presenting' the info to the users, but it may be a very uneasy if used to 'store' data.
If you want complete RSS specs, try here

http://web.resource.org/rss/1.0
You can find a RSS parser (I haven't tested or used it) here
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/rssframework.asp
There are a few other articles on CP.
I hope I was helpful.

I'm doing a friend of mine's website. www.artofali.com
Problem is: under the illustration section, image on the left, I have a simple table at the bottom of the page with the two graphics for next image, etc. Problem is it won't center correctly in internet explorer. Works fine in firefox. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

What formatting have you put on the table? What do you use to center it? Do you have a doctype on the page?

hi! to all
have anybody idea about it
i develop a website by 800x600 pixles resolution and all alignments are looking fine.
on the other side when i see that website on 1024x700 pixles resolution screen then i feel that all alignments have disturbance.
so plz someone tell me how to solve this problem.
thanks

You will have to redesign the site such a way that the size fits 800x600 resolution... for eg by having the width/height as fixed - the downside is the site will have a big gap at side(s) when you see in higher resolution.
Ideal solution would be to redesign the site which will fit 'any' resolution

Here you can look at really good css designs: Zen Garden[^]
The major advantage of using css for layout is that css is made for layout. The table tag is ment for making tables, not layout. The only reason that tables was ever used for layout is that there was no alternative before css. Now there is. Css to the resque. Where a table will resist you in every possible way (because it really doesn't want to do layout), css will work with you instead. It takes a while to get the hang of it, but once you have, you will never ever want to go back.
If you do it right, you will be rewarded with html code that is a tenth the size of the table-in-table-in-table-in-table-in-table code full of transparent gif images.
Welcome to the future.

The concept of "tableless design" is all fine and dandy, but in reality, it's almost impossible to pull off because of the varying levels of conformity exhibited by the various browsers, and designing for one browser (IE) is not only arrogant, it enforces (and endorses) Microsoft's monopoly on the market.
I use tables to constrain the divs because in many cases, that's the only way I could get it to work across numerous browsers.

Actually, IE is one of the biggest problems when implementing layout. As it contains so many rendering bugs, there are many things in the css standard that you just cannot use. If one could design only for non-IE browsers, it would be a lot easier.
Tableless designs are not impossible, it's just hard. Then again, using tables for layout is also hard.
If you find it hard to do layout without tables, make yourself a favour and learn how to do it. Otherwise you will be stuck in table hell forever.

Ok, Im convinced ie6 sucks. Hard. I'm making a website for a friend of mine:
www.artofali.com/index.htm
Everything works just fine and dandy in firefox. I get the site live and realize to my horror that it has some very nettlesome problems in ie6. For one every time you click a link the entire page flashes black along with a noticeable blackness for the button selected. Makes no sense. I designed it in fireworks/dreamweaver and tested it in firefox. I'm sure this blackness is far more noticeable on 56k.
Another good one is how the javascript open links (under the writing section which uses iframes) work in firefox but not in internet explorer. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I've got a form with one textbox with Maxlength = 5 and another with Maxlength = 10 and a user control that has another textBox. Input on the user control can be copied to either textbox one or two on the parent form, depending where focus was when the user control was displayed. How do I set the maxlength of the textbox in the user control to the Maxlength of the textbox on the parent form?

Hi, I have 2 questions about Javascript. The first, is that I have the following code which starts an interval 'window.setInterval("LoadingContent()",500);' My question is how can I get this to stop firing?
Secondly, in my output from the database, whenever there is a ' in the output, it removes the '. Eg: DH'KJ is output as DHKJ - how can i prevent this?
Thanks in advance.

1. The method returns an identifier. Call clearInterval with that identifier.
2. Where does the output from your database go?

Hi,
I have made a very simple ISAPI in C++, which examines the request URL and if a pattern matches, then would modify the URL to an appropriate ASPX page in the web application, reading settings from a plain text file. This perfectly works for Windows 2000 and XP and when I tried to put it in a Windows 2003 box, it took 2 to 3 minutes and only then, the properties dialog was showing 'Green' icon, indicating that the filter was loaded.
But the request is being responded with Bad Request.
I am not using any Raw Sockets except for Preproc Header notification which is very basic. Is'nt it? I have also browsed through the system eventlogs for any error messages but none have been recorded in this direction.
Please help...

Hi there,
Do you enable the ISAPI in the Web Service Extensions list? By default, IIS 6 only services the static resources for the security reason.

Hi all,
I can't figure this out. In IE, when I open a new window, history.length seems to have a value of 0, while it's 1 in Firefox. Can anyone tell me why?
Is there a way to get around this? And if not, is there a way to code safely such that if there is a bug in either IE or Firefox, my code won't break later when the bug is fixed?
Thanks in advance for any help. As you can probably tell, I am not an expert at all this, so please be patient with me.
