Maybe have the code produce some style as well, based on the users selections (-font type, font size, background color, list style type, padding-) But my comments before would be nice to incorporate into a new version, at least letting the link open in a new window anyway. The other suggestion would probably be a lot harder to accomplish, but having more than one rss feed scrolling at a time (without using an iframe) might be helpful to some. I have an rss feed block on my clients web page that scrolls through cnn.com woai.com and nws.com getting the top stories from their part of the world and thats something they need to look at all the time. If I can think of anything else, I'll let you know. Thanks! Well, if I had a project like this I would try to let the user have customization options.

Is there some javascript or PHP I can put in my page to do a search/replace on common characters? Thanks, JB Thanks for the character encoding reply.

Could you maybe give me an example of how this is done using the kind of code you get from your generator. Thanks!

If they use non-standard english characters and declare the wrong UTF this is the result... Unfortunatly there's not much I can do to fix the problem. One thing that should solve the problem, would be to escape the characters like £ with their HTML alias. For example £ should be & pound ; (without spaces). It’s a character encoding issue.

I am getting a lot of odd characters from a wordpress blog, you know the sort of thing, £ instead of £(£) etc. Have you got any tips to screen these out? Thanks JB Hi - great script, really useful.

Yep, I'm working at the final release that will support all the RSS features(date, author.. etc). As for the onload function, I will have a fix also to support extra onload actions too.
