  9. Problems with Client-Side Script • Source code revealed • Compatibility problem • Mozilla • IE

  10. Dynamic Web Pages – Server-Side Script Example • Demo: DemoTime VB project • <body> • <form id="form1" runat="server"> • <div> • <p>The time is now <% response.write(Now.TimeOfDay())%></p> • <% • dim iHour • iHour=Now.Hour() • if iHour < 12 then • response.write("<h1>good morning</h1><br>") • else • response.write ("<h1>good afternoon</h1><br>") • end if • %> • </div> • </form> • </body>

  21. What Is RSS? • RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. • RSS is a method that uses XML to distribute web content on one web site, to many other web sites. • RSS allows fast browsing for news and updates.

  22. Why Use RSS? • RSS is useful for web sites that are updated frequently, like news sites • Without RSS, users will have to check your site daily for new updates. This may be too time-consuming for many users. With an RSS feed (RSS is often called a News feed or RSS feed) they can check your site faster using an RSS aggregator (a site or program that gathers and sorts out RSS feeds). • Since RSS data is small and fast-loading, it can easily be used with services like cell phones or PDA's.

  23. An Example of RSS Document (MyRss.XML) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <rss version="2.0"> <channel> <title>Assignments</title> <link>http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~dchao</link> <description>My home page</description> <image> <url>http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~dchao/CAKE.JPG</url> <title>Easy as cake</title> <link>http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~dchao</link> </image> <item> <title>Assignment 1</title> <link>http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~dchao/ISYS5812A1F06.htm</link> <description>First assignment</description> </item> <item> <title>Assignment 2</title> <link>http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~dchao/ISYS5812A2F06.htm</link> <description>assignment 2</description> <enclosure url="http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~dchao/FLYAWAY.JPG" type="image/jpeg" length="5332" /> </item> </channel> </rss>

  24. The Channel Element • The <channel> elementis used to describe the RSS feed. • The <channel> element has three required child elements: • <title> - Defines the title of the channel • <link> - Defines the hyperlink to the channel • <description> - Describes the channel • Each <channel> element can have one ore more <item> elements.

  25. The Item Element • Each <item> element defines an article or "story" in the RSS feed. • The <item> element has three required child elements: • <title> - Defines the title of the item • <link> - Defines the hyperlink to the item • <description> - Describes the item

  26. RSS Reader • An RSS Reader is used to read RSS Feeds. • RSS readers are available for many different devices and OS. • Example: SharpReader • The Mozilla Firefox browser has a built-in RSS Reader. If you go to a web site that offers RSS feeds, you will see the Firefox RSS icon in the address bar. Click on the icon to view a list of the different feeds. Choose the feed you want to read.

  27. Publish RSS • To publish RSS feed: • 1. Name your RSS file. Notice that the file must have an .xml extension. • 2. Validate your RSS file (a good validator can be found at http://www.feedvalidator.org). • 3. Upload the RSS file to your web directory on your web server. • 4. Submit your RSS feed to the RSS Feed Directories.
