RSS Tag Syntax / Validation

[1DMF]

Hi,

I've created an RSS feed and was having problems with my XML::RSS PERL module.

to have a referenced link (in this case an MP3) i used <enclosure src="blah blah" />

only the XML::RSS module doesn't see this tag so I can't get to the data.

I did a bit of googling and found an article saying replace <enclosure /> with <enclosure>url to mp3 goes here</enclosure>

this seemed to solve my problem I can now get the data between the <enclosure> tag in my PERL script and it displays fine in AWASU rss reader.

only now the RSS feed won't validate saying

Unexpected Text

with the pointer at the text between the <enclosure> tag.

can someone help as to what the correct tag is and how to use it and validate it.

thanks

1.) What version of RSS are you using?
2.) Is the RSS feed dynamically created? Can you check what the client's agent reports as?

I am using (so i thought) RSS v2.0, and yes it is dynamically created.
