generating RSS feed
-
Hey guys, I have a ASP.NET page that generates RSS feed by pulling info from the db. All is fine except when I try to validate it agains rss validators, it complains about
being unknown element. My RSS structure is correct, I have all of the required elements, and it complains only about html inside node of an item. But I have seen other feeds contain html inside, and they validate with no problems. My sample feed looks like: I got cought by surprise when I realized that .NET 1.1 or earlier doesn`t have a native support for secure socket programming. Why did I need them? For secure authentication using MS Passport servers.
bla bla bla ... If I place
with no /, it doesn't like it as this is not well formed XML. Has anyone had any issues like this? Any experience or your own RSS generators? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, laimis -

Yeah, that's what i thought also, but that is not it. I am generating an xml type content in my feed, as are every other RSS feed that I saw on the net. And they seem to have html elements inside the description node. I am thinking that I might be missing some version number or something like that. Still banging my head strong ... thanks for suggestions. laimis
