turning an XML into a string

[vinhboy]

Hi,

How can I use JS to turn the XML of an RSS into one big string.

The reason is because I want to use this JS:

and some DOM parsing to get an RSS feed onto my website.

Please point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Note: the RSS is at another location, so using XMLhttpRequest doesn't work.

I figure all I am doing is getting the plain text of an RSS feed, so this should not be that hard.

Thanks in Advance!

What server side language do you plan to use to get the rss feed? If you use php, you would do something like this:

mypage.php

<script type="text/javascript">

<?php

$str = /*get rss feed data somehow*/;

echo("var rssStr = $str");

?>

alert(rssStr);

</script>
