xml data in Firefox
« on: December 07, 2004, 09:06:50 PM »
I've set up a test web page using the wdfulldata.xml data feed. It works fine in IE but not in Firefox. Any suggestions anyone? I wrote it using MS Frontpage - maybe that was my first mistake  :lol:
The page is here at www.larsenz.com/mambo/weather/weather2.html
Thanks

I think the simple answer is that at the moment remote linking to XML data ONLY works in IE as it uses Microsoft data binding.

Mozilla have not found a way to do this yet I believe unless anyone can correct me.

Other sites using XML feeds this way state it will only work in IE.

Dang. I knew it was all too easy. Thanks for the info. Back to the drawing board I guess.   #-o

Also, remote XML ONLY displays if ALL your visitors lower their security settings in IE.

Been there. Tried that.

So in theory then if I save my web page as a somethingorother.txt in WD and change all the xml tags to straight WD tags and get WD to upload that it should work   :roll: #-o 8)   ?

in other words, a custom page?

generated by custom tags in wxlocal.html so that WD uploads as wx.html with all the current data values filled in?

Yup that would work.
