You have to make the folder and upload the image to it:

Put this image in it:

Right click on the image and 'save as'. It should be loading.gif

Make the folder as described above and put the image in it.

That image is only supposed to show while the feed is being loaded. Once the feed is obtained, the loading image disappears.

That's not happening because there is no folder on the server:

http://world-fishing-news.com/INTRO/1/images/

Once you make that folder. you should put the image in it. While loading, it should then look something like so (click for larger version):

Click image for larger version.

Name: loading_example.jpg
Views: 140
Size: 3.0 KB
ID: 4235

Right now it only has the text:

Initializing RSS Feed

And in some browsers the broken image token, with or without the alternate text 'loading', in others just the alternate text.

I'm concerned about those browsers that show the broken image token. Looks tacky.

If making the folder and putting the image in it is too much trouble for you, you should at least disable the loading image by adding the highlighted style:

Code:

/* CSS for RSS crawler(s) */

.marquee {
	height: 54px;
}

#rssloading img {
	display: none;
}

.rsstable {
	border-collapse: collapse;
}

.rsstable td {
	padding: 5px;
	margin: 5px;
	vertical-align: top;
	background-color: #ffa;
	font: normal 13px verdana, arial, sans-serif;
	white-space: normal;
	border-right: 2px solid #fff;
}

.rsstable div {
	width: 600px;
	height: 45px;
	font-size: 13px;
	overflow: hidden;
}

.rsstitle {
	font-weight: bold;
}

.rssdate {
	color: #222;
	font-size: 10px;
	display: block;
}

/* End CSS for RSS crawler(s) */

Open up the simple_crawler.js file in the js folder with a text only editor like NotePad. In it you will see:

Code:

// Simple Rss/Crawler Interface Script v1.0 (c)2011 John Davenport Scheuer
// as first seen in http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/
// username: jscheuer1 - This Notice Must Remain for Legal Use

rsscrawler.loading = 'images/loading.gif';
function rsscrawler(feedurl, divid, crawlerobj){
	var bridgepath = './simplepie/simple_bridge.php', // For syndication, use absolute path.
	s = document.createElement('script');
	this.displaydiv = document.getElementById(divid);
	this.displaydiv.style.visibility = 'visible';
	this.displaydiv.innerHTML = '<table id="rssloading" style="height: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td valign="middle" style="height: 100%;"><div>Initializing RSS Feed <img src="' + rsscrawler.loading + '" alt="loading" title=""></div></td></tr></tbody></table>';
	feedurl = encodeURIComponent(feedurl);
	s.type = 'text/javascript';
	s.charset = 'utf-8';
	s.src = bridgepath + '?feedurl=' + feedurl + '&divid=' + divid + '&scriptcount=' + rsscrawler.scriptcount + '&bustcache=' + new Date().getTime();
	document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].insertBefore(s, document.getElementsByTagName('script')[rsscrawler.scriptcount++]);
	this.init(divid, crawlerobj);
}
rsscrawler.scriptcount = 0;
rsscrawler.rsscon . . .

Scroll the above code block until you see the highlighted text. Change that to whatever you like, save it and use that version.

OK, where you have:

Code:

<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
new rsscrawler('http://www.google.com/alerts/feeds/03413850423032271991/16942127247299621922', 'uknewsfeed');
</script>
</body>

It needs to be:

Code:

<body>
<div id="uknewsfeed" class="marquee"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
new rsscrawler('http://www.google.com/alerts/feeds/03413850423032271991/16942127247299621922', 'uknewsfeed');
</script>
</body>

John

Every time I added the code using Kompozer to edit the html when I went back after saving it, it had disappeared in the end I used notepad to edit the page and then it worked strange but now working.
