I am having this exact same problem, the title and descriptions come through fine. seem to be something to do with there being two link attributes. (link and atom:link)
var base = $(data).children("channel"); feed.title=base.children("title").text( ); feed.description=base.children("description").text( ); feed.link=base.children("link").eq(0).text( ); feed.pubDate=base.children("pubDate").text( ); feed.imgUrl = base.children("image").children("url").text(); if (!feed.imgUrl) { feed.imgUrl = base.children("itunes:image").attr("href"); } feed.type = "rss"; feed.email = base.children("itunes:owner").eq(0).children ("itunes:email").text(); feed.owner = base.children("itunes:owner").eq(0).children ("itunes:name").text(); actually the link data is in : base.children("link").eq(0)[0].nextSibling.data when inspecting with firebug, but i cant use that as it doesnt look right if you have a solution i would love to hear it - have wrestled with it for a few hours now regards rob On Oct 6, 11:24 pm, NRutman <nathan.rut...@gmail.com> wrote: > MorningZ, done that.
