Question

I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to use jQuery.get() to pull in my dynamically generated RSS feed and I’m having nothing but issues, is my RSS feed the wrong format? If so can I convert it to the correct format using javascript?

Here’s my feed: http://dev.chriscurddesign.co.uk/burns/p/rc_rss.php?rcf_id=0

Here’s my code:

function get_rss_feed() {

        $(".content").empty();

        $.get("http://dev.chriscurddesign.co.uk/burns/p/rc_rss.php?rcf_id=0", function(d) {

            var i = 0;
            $(d).find('item').each(function() {

                var $item = $(this);
                var title = $item.find('title').text();
                var link = $item.find('link').text();
                var location = $item.find('location').text();
                var pubDate = $item.find('pubDate').text();

                var html = '<div class="entry"><a href="' + link + '" target="_blank">' + title + '</a></div>';

                $('.content').append(html);
                i++;
            });

        });
};

Any input would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

I tried this in IE and it worked ok.

$(document).ready(function() {
            $.get('http://dev.chriscurddesign.co.uk/burns/p/rc_rss.php?rcf_id=0',
                   'xml' , function(data) {
                alert(data);
            });
        });

This wont work in other browsers because of cross site scripting issues. The above code will only work if the page in which its residing is in the same domain.
So, you have many options none of which is standard though.
Best is make an ajax call to a url from your domain and then call the feed url from there ie; from server side.
