Re: [xml-dev] Formatting Syndicated Content
Thanks for the tip, but it's not really what I'm looking for. I don't have time to learn XSL (the project I'm working on is due tonight) and besides, from what I've seen, it won't help me.

See, I'm using a javascript, outside syndicater, and I'm putting a CSS tag around the syndication script. The CSS works in that it chooses the font I specify, and the content width I specify, but not the font size (which is crucial considering how small I have to make my column width).

I was just wondering if anyone knows why this is occuring, if anyone's used a javascript syndication script before, or if they know any examples of combining the javascript syndicater with CSS. Everywhere I look talks about actually writing XML, which isn't what I'm doing. I'm just using other people's feeds on my site.

Here's the JS syndicator (not sure if that's the right term) I'm using:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.rdn.ac.uk/rss/viewer/?rss=[insert syndication URL here]"></script>

And here's the code I'm using around it:

<div id="feed">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://www.rdn.ac.uk/rss/viewer/?rss=http://john.nixonbiscuit.net/inmyhead/index.rdf"></script>
</div>

Where "feed" is defined as:
#feed { text-align: justify; font-size: x-small; font-family: ms sans serif, verdana, helvetica, arial; width:200px; overflow:hidden; color: #000033;}

And all of those specs work, EXCEPT the font size.

The URL to see this in action, in case you can help, is here:

Thanks again for your response Pam! And thanks in advance for any help.
Christina.
