-it works great! except for the image thing-

[vwphillips]

newsfeed.displayoptions("datetime description") //show the specified additional fields

'description' will show the images

Hello

I done that and the image show, but can one control the size of the image? I have the code feed shown here: http://browseshopbuy.com/backup-home.html you can tell how it's working and the size that I have for the feed (ebay one) on orange field.

Thank you

#example1 IMG{ /*Demo 1 main container images*/
width: 150px;
}

Hello,

I am back to ask another question:

How to go about having only the image show? I ask this because some descriptions of an image are short, long and some done have, so then there is always a large empty space between post!

[vwphillips]

I can not modify that script
I would have to make a new one

what other RSS display options would you require?
i.e.
"date", "time", "datetime", "label", "snippet"

You could try it with CSS - it might not be a suitable method (depends on the circumstances) but then again it might be, so give it a try.

First set the parent container visibility to hidden;

#example1 div ul li { /* LI that surrounds each entry */
visibility: hidden;
height: 300px;
}

Set an explicit height so that when the images inside are made visible again, they'll occupy a uniform space.

Then make the image inside visible again;

#example1 div ul li img { /* image inside each li entry */
visibility: visible;
}

This is an untested suggestion and it really depends on the size of image and if there is only one per post.

Maybe it will provide a workable option though?

Hello

Okay,

what about limiting the characters of the description? if is possible, that will be the solution!

Hello,

I try it your solution; It hides the description and the title as well - so the image is by it's lonesome -
