    Default Pausing RSS Scroller and unexpected output

    1) Script Title: Pausing RSS Scroller

    2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...ller/index.htm

    3) Describe problem: Thanks for any assistance you can give. I have installed the scripts properly and it works fine with feeds from "cnn" and the like. However, I would like to be able to allow a client to use a "feed editor" and upload to my server. This way they can change certain content items without messing around in the site. I found a freeware editor to use but the files it generates only display the topic and date... and I can confirm that my insertion script does have the "date+description" value set.

    The URL of my site (in progress) is here: http://www.jacksonscarpet.com/

    Ok, I assume the output of the editor I am using isn't formatted properly. You can view it here: http://www.jacksonscarpet.com/news/front_page.xml

    Is there an easy fix... OR if you have a suggestion for a different editor, I would love to hear it. ( freeware would be nice ) Mainly, I need something simple for my client to use.

    I Sincerely Appreciate Your Help,
    Nick in Tennessee

    Remove the <![CDATA[ at the front of the description and remove the ]]> at the end, See what that does.

    That did the trick!

    Thank you so much.... now, does anyone hav a suggestion on which RSS editor I could use? It doesn't matter if it is a stand alone application or an online version... just as long as it can upload the file to my webserver. Obviously the freeware one that I used to make this file doesn't format things the way it should for the "Pausing RSS Scroller" to deal with. With that said though, free would be nice

    I used this one RSSeditor v0.9.54

    Suggestions?
