royster:There are some caveats but I will address those once I know more from you.
Hi Royster - I am almost in the same boat - and your help would be appreciated... I am using Yahoo's topstories - I have their RSS link - I use a free Cut and Paste RSS to Java Script site (http://itde.vccs.edu/rss2js/build.php) Very simple to use... They even offer CSS styles that you can modify... Now to my question... for instance the code to place into the HTML module is <script language="JavaScript" src="http://itde.vccs.edu/rss2js/feed2js.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Ffinance.yahoo.com%2Frss%2Ftopstories&chan=n&num=1&desc=1&date=n&targ=n" type="text/javascript" defer="defer"></script>
This is the basic code. Is there a way in this code to change the background color, link color, etc. If so how - if not or if it would be easier to use the CSS style sheets - where would I place it? I use IDs and Classes on this site.
Here would be an example of their CSS
/* begin styles for RSS Feed */
.rss_box {
margin: 10px 5%;
padding: 4px 8px;
width: 460px;
background-color: #ededed;
border: 2px dashed #7485CA;
}
.rss_title, rss_title a {
font-family: "American Typewriter", "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Lucida, sans-serif;
font-size: 18px;
font-weight:bold;
margin: 5px 0;
padding: 0;
letter-spacing: 1px;
}
.rss_items {
}
.rss_item {
font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
font-weight : bold;
margin: 8px 0;
}
.rss_item a:link, .rss_item a:visited, .rss_item a:active {
text-decoration : none;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ededed;
color: #88b;
}
.rss_item a:hover {
text-decoration : none;
color: #e0861e;
border-bottom: 1px dotted #e0861e;
}
.rss_date {
font-size: 11px;
font-weight : normal;
color: #F60;
}
Also - I have found another that offers a background color change in the JS code - However I have a white frame surrounding the Feed - I have tried <style> .MSC_Body { background:#b5bab9; } </style> but that didn't do anything.
Thanks in advance -
