FeedNav - an unobtrusive AJAX RSS displayer
I finally reached the AJAX chapter in my book and had to dabble with it for the first time (yes I know I should have done it earlier, but I work behind a proxy in the office that doesn’t let any outgoing requests through).
The first outcome is FeedNav, a RSS feed displayer: Have a look and I’d be happy about feedback here on the blog.

nice, but why all the AJAX RSS feedreader only shows the titles?, i never found one that show me the news like SAGE or Gragarius, well Gregarius is nice but is too big and needs to install, a SAGE-like online aplication will be cool.
Happy CSS naked day and sorry for the crapy english

Seems like a neat idea, but it’s not working for me - when I click the site title, it’s wait a few seconds, then shows a small blank space underneath.
Edit what browser and configuration are you using? Are you behind a proxy or a firewall?

Chris,
Firefox 1.5.0.1. Normal Comcast broadband connection.
When I click a link and then view the generated source of the page, it adds an empty <ul> after the link I clicked.
Firebug is showing the GET requests and what looks to be like the proper responses from the server, they just don’t seem to be getting into the page.
Please feel free to email me if there is any other info about my configuration etc that I can give you…

Great! but: Clicking on the Title shows a tiny box with the content preview. When i directly open another title without closing the first preview the old boxes woned be closed, overlaying each other..

readall.setAttribute(’href’,'#’);
Wonderful script, thank you so much. I have one small problem, though. I’m trying to get the “read more” links to open in a new window and can’t get it working. I’ve added the followingn to the JS and it still doesn’t work. Any ideas?
// this is the existing line that sets the link location
readall.setAttribute('href',t.getAttribute('href'));
// And this is the line I added just below it.
readall.setAttribute('target','_blank');

i wanted to ask if this script has the ability to load more than just text in a description area and if the text can be configured by CSS?

Are there any limitations in FeedNav (Atom, RSS x) or what happens here??
Thanks for your help
