Dashcode Web Widget - RSS feed only displays in Safari

Created a simple web widget in dashcode (my first experience with it) and when I deploy to the web it only works correctly in Safari. The RSS feed does not display in Explorer or Firefox. Having trouble getting it work on a windows computer and across browsers...any ideas?

Thank You

We were able to work around this by using jQuery to write the data we wanted into the RSS output into the "Item Description" field. And we just didn't use the "Item Description" field in the detail page at all... it worked out pretty good for us...

I just wanted to know how to stop loading of rss feeds automatically ? In prior to FF 11 the rss feeds would display if there was no internet connection but now in newer version it would say live bookmark failed to load and doesn't display any feeds, in previous version it would atleast display feeds but in newer version it won't display anything:(

hello Nitin1234, the handling of live bookmarks was changed quite fundamentally starting in firefox 13 & upwards in order to improve the overall performance of the browser - now rss feeds won't get updated in the background anymore but will only be fetched when you're actively accessing them. this is probably leading to the unwanted side-effect that you're experiencing, unfortunately i don't know any way around that.
nevertheless please [[Update Firefox to the latest version|update firefox to the latest version]] (16.0.1 at the moment) to stay secure on the web, since there have been many [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html highly critical vulnerabilities fixed] since firefox 11/13!

Bookmark bar RSS feeds randomly display only a drop shadow, no menu

Ok, I have an odd issue that just started occurring after an OS reload. When viewing my RSS feed pull-downs from the bookmark bar, they'll often-times open up 100% transparent, the only thing visible being the drop-shadow that surrounds it. The menu still works; I can still click things and it will bring up the page, but since I can't see what it is, I have no clue what I'm clicking. I can get it to be visible again by closing and re-opening the pull-down (sometimes takes a couple tries).
Nothing has changed with my browser profile since I last reloaded windows. I reloaded Windows (7 64-bit) once because my secondary HDD controller crashed on me and I reloaded windows thinking there was a faulty driver stuck in the OS (that and to get rid of the extra junk from the past several years), but later found the motherboard was going bad, so I replaced it and reloaded again (primary is 2x SSD Raid 0). I'm now running that second reload and loaded my profile the same way as before and I'm getting the issue.
To save and load the profile I did the following: FireFox menu > Help > Troubleshooting Information > Show Folder (Profile folder) then closed FF and copied the entire contents of the folder to a backup directory. Reloading the profile was the same process but copying the files back to the profile folder after closing FF. I did this on the first reload as well and had no issues, but for some reason I'm running into it now. Seems to occur more during heavy file transfer loads (such as copying from USB HDD to SSD raid). Not actually sure if that's related or not though.
Anyway, any ideas why this might be occurring?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Web Services/RSS Feed to Share Content

We are using Netweaver 2004s and have some KM Content that I would like to share with other sites. The other sites are likely to be ASP written with Visual Studio 2008. The KM Content consists of some WPC Paragraphs and some custom XML Forms created with Forms builder.
I was thinking we could maybe supply the content to the other sites via RSS Feeds or a Web Service of some sort and while I can find information about consuming both within portal I haven't had any luck determining how to share this information from the portal.
Any advice or pointers to information regarding this subject are highly appreciated.

Hi TA,
Not sure if this will help you, but SAP KM is a WebDAV server as well as client. Perhaps you can publish this content using WebDAV? I know WPC pages have an RSS link on them that you can configure... so maybe that is something you could use for the WPC content you describe.
Sorry I can't be of more help. You coud I suppose develop a custom portal component using the KM API the returned an RSS stream, you would probably have to make it anonymous access as I don't think RSS handles authentication.
BRgds,
Simon

RSS Feed only with original post?

I'd like somethings like
- original subject
- original subject 2
only.

No promoises but we'll look into it.

RSS feeds stopped working in Safari and Mail

In Safari, if I click on the RSS box in the webpage address line I get the following error "Safari can't open the page.... The error is: 'the operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted' (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:1)". I have tried several websites (Apple, BBC, CNN, ...) - all with the same error
I have a similar problem with RSS feeds through AppleMail. An exclamation mark appears next to all the Mailboxes for all my RSS feeds. This used to work until a few days ago - the only upgrade that I have recently installed is Aperture 3. If I click on the exclamation mark I get the message "there was an error updating the RSS feed 'Apple Hot News'. The RSS feed is temporarily unavailable because an internal error occurred".
I can send / receive regular email without problem
I have tried restarting / shutting down, repairing disk permissions, selecting the 'open in 32-bit mode' for Safari, deleting the Safari.plist and the Safari.RSS.plist files, deleting and reinstalling the RSS Mail feeds - all with no effect. If I log in using a different account, I still get the problem.
I also have an iMac, also running Sno 10.6.2, Safari 4.0.4 and Apple Mail v4.2 (and upgraded to Aperture 3 at the same time as my MacBook). RSS feeds work fine on this machine in both Mail and Safari
Both computers run largely identical applications - iWork, Aperture and Intego Security Barrier. Intego is configured identically on both computers. The Security settings under System Preferences are also identical. Both machines use the same wireless broadband router. Both computers are sync'ed via MobileMe (which seems to be working fine)
I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Grateful for any help. Thanks

Hi rickb
good work on what you've tried so far... I'd suggest cleaning or removing System caches - you might try this... http://www.northernsoftworks.com/snowleopardcachecleaner.html since I've seen it recommended here before.
Failing that, although on paper it mightn't help in this case : try a Safe Boot - holding down the Shift key as your mac starts - then restart normally.

RSS Feeds not updating in safari (and Mail)

I have just realized that my RSS feeds (bookmark bar) stopped updating a few days ago. If I "view all RSS articles," nothing more recent than several days ago appears. Even when I hit "Update Now" under actions, I get nothing. I know there are recent articles becasue I sync bookmarks across two MBAs and the other is updating just fine.
As an aside, my mail feed is not updating reliably either.
I updated to 10.7.2 on friday, but my feed worked until Saturday morning. Any idea what might be casuing this issue? I'm stumped.
Thanks.

I have a similar problem. Some of my safari RSS feeds are updating whilst some aren't however if I go to the website and click on feeds again, it shows the latest ones. I think there's a bug in safari. I am running the latest version of Safari & OS X (as of this date). If anyone has a fix on this, it is greatly appreciated.

RSS Feeding applications - needed with Safari???

Hi.
I am now getting courageous and want to start playing around with RSS. With ie it has always been impossible until recently itappears there are some RSS reader/feeders that need to be downloaded and installed (on PC). I have not found any feature on the Mac that readily works like a Feeder allowing you to choose through a drop down what RSS you want to see and bang, it is on your desktop. Is RSS feeder/reader built in or a separate application? I could not find anything on Apple site.
Thanks for pointing the flashlight.

In Safari Tiger, RSS is built-in. It is established via the Safari Preferences>RSS.
To make the feeds easily accessible, go to your Bookmarks Manager (clicking on the book icon to the far left on the Bookmarks Bar). There, on the left under "collections" you'll see various folders. One ought to say "bookmarks bar". Click on it. Then on the right, you can establish a folder (call it RSS or whatever is significant to you) by clicking on the + sign at the bottom of the panel, dragging the new folder so it is positioned above any existing folders.
Click on the Bookmarks Icon to return to the normal browser window. There, you can drag/drop your RSS feeds directly into the RSS folder you just created. If you want to sort the Feeds, or even create sub-folders, e.g by category, just go back to the Bookmarks Manager and further define the organization in the folder.
Post back if you need any further clarification.

IWeb RSS feed not loading in Safari

IWeb 09 site RSS Widgets are not loading in Safari. http://macroads.com Worked fine up until this morning.

Several iWeb 09 site owners in a discussion on an iWeb topic reported an RSS Widget feed bug via Safari's bug reporting link under the Safari menu. Less than an hour later, the site feeds came back online. Apple Rocks!

How can I add a column to show the website (web site) of an rss feed?

I've got a lot of rss feeds coming into thunderbird. I organized some into folders, but also have a folder for several rss feeds as they adress the same topics and I prefer not to browse through 25 separate folders. However, the sender doesn't always make it clear which blog it's from, so I'd like to add a column which shows the website of the rss feed. (sender is often: [email protected], and there are different writers for a single blog who themselve have their own blog as well, so can't sort on sender name either).
When opening an rss feed, it displays in the header: web site (with the space) and then the web adress. This is what I'd like to be able to see in my columns.
I didn't see an option yet to customize columns, nor did I find an addon that does this.
Does anyone know a solution?

Thanks, that seems to work. I'm struggling to place the lightbox at the top of the page however - when I click the trigger I want the menu image to display anchored to the top of the page, but there's always a gap as it centers the image. Help is appreciated!

RSS Feeds display in Flash but not browser

I have a Flash application that pulls an RSS feed and
displays the top 5 titles and descriptions. Everything works fine
when I test the application in Flash but when I try to publish the
file I get the security msg in IE (To help protect your security,
Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts
or ActiveX controls that could access your computer...blah blah).
When I test in Firefox the movie clips containing the feeds
simply don't appear (everything else does though). I'm using an
external class file to parse the xml from the feeds and populate
the movie clips with the content. Is there another way I should be
doing it, or is there a publish setting I'm unaware of that will
block external content from being displayed in the player?
Any advice would be appreciated - thanks!

sorry :(
just figured some people would only check certain favorite parts of the forums
public class MyApplet extends JApplet{
JPanel myPanel = null;
Graphics2D _gfx = null;
init(){
_gfx = (Graphics2D)myPanel.getGraphics();
// The usual constructor, initializes / adds components
private void restart(){
drawThread = new DrawThread( gfx );
_drawThread.start();
private class ButtonListener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
if( e.getActionCommand() == "Restart" ){
restart();
public class DrawThread extends Thread{
Graphics2D _gfx = null;
public DrawThread( Graphics2D gfx ){
_gfx = gfx;
run(){
// setColor()
// drawString()
// drawRect()
// etc.
// pretty straight forward. not sure what could be wrong...

How to use iweb rss feed in an iphone web app?

So this is my dilemma. I wanted my iweb turned into a web app using the rss feed.
This is simply done cause of the "Add To Homescreen" feature.
While the RSS feed works beautifully on safari... it does not read as a webapp.
This surprised me cause I thought it would still be safari that would be loading my web app.
I tried everything to get my RSS feed to work in a web app but i failed miserably.
Is there a fix for this?

Adding to the homescreen doesn't make it a webapp.
It creates a shortcut to the webpage, just as dragging a url to the desktop creates a .webloc file.
You want an iWeb "webapp"?
Add this page to the homescreen and then click that icon :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/Fancy/Dynamic_Text.html
Then click the links in the dynamic textboxes.
I leave it to you to figure out how it's done. Hint : read the documentation.
To summarize : you want a fix for a problem that does not exist.

RSS Feed Issues

I built a blog in iWeb which is hosted by MobileMe on my personal domain. I use Feedburner for the RSS Feed.
Here is my raw feed address: http://www.ryanfirpo.com/filmmaker/Blog/rss.xml
Here is my Feedburner feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ryan918FILMS
Can anyone tell me how to:
1) Get the RSS Feed to display images.
2) Get the RSS Feed to embed video.
3) Get the RSS Feed to retain all my previous posts. Right now it will only show the five newest at any given time (in any RSS Reader).
I apologize about the multiple posts. I'm just completely at a loss as to where to go next and there seems to be no information about this specific problem anywhere on the web (I've done a lot of searching). I thought posting something that simply and concisely explained my problem would be beneficial.
BTW I only began using Feedburner because I wanted my RSS Feed to display multiple images (at this point, I'd settle for one) and I read this article: http://allaboutiweb.com/index.php/2008/09/better-rss-iweb/
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if it's just to tell me these things can't be done with iWeb. At this point, I really don't know.

I'm trying to use a feed provided by libsyn:
feed://podcastdoctor.libsyn.com/rss
And it is giving me the same errors as mentioned in this thread:
There was a problem updating the group titled TabName in course CourseTitle - the url http://media.libsyn.com/media/podcastdoctor/40Dr._Rudi_Ansbacher_-Menopause.mp3 could not be read
I don't have control over the libsyn feed, and cannot tell if:
1) the redirect on the media file is the cause
2) the xml feed is invalid (libsyn support said it was OK).
The frustrating thing is this feed is used in the Apple Store on the Podcasting side... so I am not sure why it won't also work in iTunesU.
Thanks!
John

Rss feed folder won't upload in iweb

I know that you cannot have a space in the name of a file that is used in your website because it won't upload. So instead you need to use a _ or just make the file name one word like "picofme" instead of "pic of me". I used the included RSS widget to put my blog into my iweb website. It displays fine in iweb. I published the site to a folder so that i could upload it to my site (hosted by yahoo) via Cyberduck or Filezilla. Everything uploads expet for the RSS blog widget. The space where the feed should appear is blank on my published site. As I'm uploading my site files everything uploads except for these errors:
Scripts/Widgets/RSS Feed/arrow-link.png: No such file or directory.
Scripts/Widgets/RSS Feed/error-glyph.png: No such file or directory.
Scripts/Widgets/RSS Feed/Icon.png: No such file or directory.
blackoutrecordings/Scripts/Widgets/RSS Feed/localizedStrings.js: No such file or directory.
/Scripts/Widgets/RSS Feed/RSS-placeholder-default.png: No such file or directory.
It all seems to be related to the RSS Feed folder. How can i fix this? I tried renaming the folder before i uploaded and it didn't help either.
thanks you!

I just used the code they gave me & plugged it into a HTML Snippet
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://output84.rssinclude.com/output?type=js&id=411293&hash=a8a6a8054cb7b82b437 63b4527adf319"></script>

RSS Feed Headers for Multiple Blogs on My Site

I have been using iWeb to design a new site that contains two separate blogs:
http://web.me.com/matthew.sholler/Site/Notebook/Notebook.html
http://web.me.com/matthew.sholler/Site/Civics/Civics.html
When I test the RSS feed for each in Safari, however, I have a problem. The "Notebook" blog name appears in the blue banner, but when I access the "Civics" blog feed, its name does not. Can anyone tell me how to make it appear? I realize that Apple may not have intended to allow the use of more than one blog for iWeb, but any creative solutions for my idea are welcome.

I figured this out myself: In my haste to redesign the layout of my blog pages, I left the pre-set text box for the blog name blank--so the feed banner appeared blank as well.
On a side note, I've seen a lot of questions on this board concerning blogs and feeds, and many of them have gone unanswered for months. How are people supposed to rely on this board for support if no one answers their questions?
