    Default Feed Preview Auto Display on Web Page

    Hello,

    Is there a way to have an RSS Feed Preview automatically display on a webpage without using iFrame and without having to click a button to get it to display?

    Thank you for your help, Elbee

    Not with HTML, not a good way that I'm aware of. You may use the object tag, but (having looked into using the object tag before for your existing preview page, as far as I could tell) support for that is more limited than iframe for the preview you have.

    If you mean a different sort of preview, you can use javascript and server side code to fetch the feed itself and present some of its contents in various ways. This might be limited to an extent as to how the feed itself is organized. If you have no server side code available to you on your host, that part can be farmed out to a third party. There are scripts on DD for both methods (using your own server or a third party), see:
