Locking duplicate thread.
Continued here: [/questions/923274]

I'm writing my own C:\ HTML for my home page.

I'm looking for a way to display RSS or ATOM feeds in a DIV or iFrame as either text or garbage HTML (the rest i can do with java or vb scripting).

But the Subscribe Now Live Bookmarks function is in the way. how do i disable the "Ask Live Bookmarks Subscription" thing and just get the raw XML to display?

(as plain xml, plain text, or wrapped)

You can use the view-source: protocol to see the page source or use the View Page Source menu item.

  • Firefox > Web Developer > Page Source
  • Tools > Web Developer > Page Source (Ctrl+U)
  • Right-click on a web page to open the context menu and select View Page Source

  • view-source:http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml?edition=int
