Thanks, I'll give it a go. I was able to get part of it working once before, I just wish I remembered how... Though even then, it only worked when the page first loaded, which I guess sort of defeats the purpose.

Ok I was thinking of putting this up on my page and trying it but I have a suggestion for debugging this. Limit to testing it with one rss feed and simplify the code as much as you can before you test it. Once you get the more simple version working then you add the extra feeds.

Hi, I've been trying to get this thing working for a few days now, but I think I'm missing something.I'm trying to work out a better and more dynamic method for loading the newsfeeds at http://gutterstar.net/news.php All of these news feeds are being loaded using the script at http://gutterstar.net/rss , which is rendered within a standard <script type="text/javascript" src="http://rssScriptGenURLOutput.php?stuffVariables";></script> My idea is that, if I could dynamically load each RSS feed when a link isclicked, the load delay would be much less, and no page refresh would occurto disrupt navigation. So I wrote the test page at http://gutterstar.net/news_test.htm Which, by all that I've read, should work, except that it doesn't...I was able to get the code below to work briefly when the page first loaded,but nothing after that. Now it doesn't even work when the page loads for some reason. The dynamic aspect just isn't working at all. I've saved outthe live DOM to see if it's adding the correct script to the right Div, andeverything appears to be updating correctly in the DOM, but I can't see anything on the page itself, which is really weird. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> /*<![CDATA[*/ var n1 = 'http://gutterstar.net/cgi-bin/apps/rss/js.php?RSSFILE=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbsn ews.com%2Ffeeds%2Frss%2Fmain.rss&crss=11940&MAXITEMS=10&HeaderText=Top+Stori es&TitleText=&TableWidth=&TableHeight=&TableAlign=&TextAlign=left&SectionHea derClr=%236a5acd&SectionHeaderSize=2&SectionHeaderFont=Times+New+Roman&Secti onTitleClr=%23228b22&SectionTitleSize=2&SectionTitleFont=Comic+Sans+MS&Secti onRowClr=%2300bfff&SectionRowSize=2&SectionRowFont=Verdana&OpenWindow=newsfl ash&limit=&astr=&ReverseOrder=&license=&ApplyTo=';
