Hi there. Thanks for reading.
I'm currently using MagpieRSS to parse an XML feed in my web site. I'm amazed at how simple that part was to accomplish, although, i didn't get the part about controlling how many items to show-- i think there's a typo in the readme file. maybe i need glasses?
anyway-- i'm pleased w/ what i have for now. but, the feeds, each of which (in this case) are hyperlinks 100% the length of the feed text, i'd like for the target of the link to be a new window (or new tab... whatever), so the user isn't directed away from my page.
rather than get in there and mess around w/ the code to try to make it work as i want, i thought perhaps there might be a way, not unlike the collapsing display:none div trick for the [more...] feature? i'm no javascript ace if you haven't guessed, so i'm not sure if this can be done-- but the idea would be to enclose the feed output in a div, and tell the browser to launch all links which come from inside of that DIV into a new window (or tab).
ideas? i wouldn't know how to write the code for it, so that's the other reason i'm here. i mean-- if the idea sounds right, and you're wondering why i'm here-- it's because i don't know how to write the javascript.
okay. thanks!!
