GeoRSS : XML embedded in aspx page

xanderm — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 16:50:53 GMT

I am trying to use a the following feed with the GeoRSS widget without success. Is there a way to view the embedded xml?

API ref:
http://www.buckeyetraffic.org/services/api/index.html

XML source:
http://www.buckeyetraffic.org/services/RoadActivity.aspx

widget error:
A problem occured while parsing the RSS feed. Error #1009

The paths you provided do not work. Are you using the correct source. Also in code you can use the debugger/trace statements to have a look at the XML that is being retrieved.

Interesting. The links work fine for me. I'll continue to debug as much as I can.

Xander,

Because your XML does not have rss or atom as the parent xml element the GeoRSSWidget does not know how to parse it.

This is the parent element of a standard rss feed.

<rss version="2.0" xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml">

Thanks, but it's not my feed. Is there a way I can manipulate on the fly or save, edit and serve out locally?
