The directory structure I have set up is:
demo.htm

Here is my bridge.php

The only line I changed in rssticker.js is the URL.
Code:
//Relative URL syntax:
var lastrssbridgeurl="../lastrss/bridge.php"
I did not make any changes to lastRSS.php but I can post the code for it and all of rssticker.js if you feel that they would be helpful.
The feed I tried adding is http://ntcclibrary.wordpress.com/feed/
Thanks.
