Feed2JS Build JavaScript and Preview

NOTE: I have installed this for my classes to use. I do not intend to leave it up here for long. So, do not plan on using it for your feeds as it will soon break on you.

The tool below will help you format a feed's display with the information you want to use on your web site. All you need to enter is the URL for the RSS source, and select the desired options below.

First, be sure to preview the feed to verify the content and format. Once the content is displayed how you like, just use the generate javascript button to get your code. Once the content looks okay, move on to our style tool to make it pretty.

URL Enter the web address of the RSS Feed

Note: Please verify the URL of your feed (make sure it presents raw RSS) and check that it is valid before using this form.

Use HTML in item display? ("yes" = use HTML from feed and the full item descriptions will be used, ignoring any character limit set above; "no" = output is text-only formatted by CSS; "preserve paragraphs" = no HTML but convert all RETURN/linefeeds to <br> to preserve paragraph breaks)
