how to show RSS in an iframe or div?

I'm writing my own hard drive HTML for my homepage and need to disable the RSS XML Live Bookmarks prompt so that i can display the feed in an iFrame or DIV.

I do NOT need instructions about how to "view source" from the menu, only how to disable the Live Bookmarks subscription HTML prompt.

Still the easiest way that I can think of is to use the view-source protocol.

Maybe you can load that page code via an XMLHttpRequest.

A good place to ask advice about web development is at the MozillaZine "Web Development/Standards Evangelism" forum.

The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
