Strange - I can load the URL (http://www.ed.gov/rss/edgov.xml) directly into FireFox, but using your code, I get this error in the Firebug console: Access to restricted URI denied" code: "1012 An aside - if you're using Firefox (and as you're using Mozilla, seems highly likely), use Firebug to help you debug your Javascript - it's an awesome tool! In addition, I would also recommend using a Javascript library like jQuery or Prototype (I have experience of jQuery, but not Prototype) for cross-browser DOM manipulation like this - they allow you to a) write your code as if there was only one browser - the library will deal with the browser differences, and b) simplify your code significantly.

hai man.. i know dat link is working fine over mozilla browser.but my requirmnet is different.. i need to embeded the rss feeds inside that xml into html page dynamically.

Yes, I know. My first action was to save your code and run it - at which point I got the error message I described. So, I tried the URL via the address bar and it worked. I've since found this page[^], which describes the error message, but in relation to jQuery. It tells you that FireFox's security model is stopping you access the page.
