Reading Dated XML files from one directory

[AarynC]

Hi,

First time I have looked at using XML and RSS, and I am wanting to put a news section from home on website (living overseas)

I have a directory from the New Zealand Herald here:

http://syndication.apn.co.nz/headlines/xml/

These files are updated 3 times a day, and as you can see, each xml file is a seperate story with a filename related to the date of the story.

I have downloaded a dreamweaver rss extension (JS), and looked at others, but they seem to want to have the xml file specified when setting up.

Is there a way to get an RSS parser to use all the files in this directory every time the news page is loaded? It just seems that with the current setup, I would need to manually change the feed details on the page every time I want to update.

Thanks
Aaryn

Thats because that is not a true RSS... that looks more like an archive from the RSS...

An RSS has one file that is updated...

Not a folder with many files...

A typically RSS looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<rss version="2.0">

And as far as using all files in a directory, I don't think you can, unless it is a server side App... (could be wrong though...)

Thanks Cube. I thought that the one file would be more logical.

Ho Hum, I'll look for another source I guess. Thanks for your input.
