I would like to make the BBC's XML news feed scroll accross the bottom of a webpage. I've been looking around for info on how to do this but can't see anything anywhere.
This is the feed: http://www.bbc.co.uk/syndication/feeds/news/ukfs_news/world/rss091.xml

I'd like to use the <marquee> tags to make it scroll in a web page if possible. The only language I have available to me is ASP (IIS Web Farm).

Many thanks.

Ok then, I'm getting there, I have this xsl stylesheet to format a local copy of the xml file I am trying to display.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">

<html>
<style>
.headlines {font-family:arial;color:black;}
.title {font-family:arial;color:black;size:14pt;}
</style>
<body>
<marquee>


News Headlines from
<xsl:value-of select="rss/channel/title"/>


<xsl:for-each select="rss/channel/item">


~



<xsl:value-of select="title"/>
<xsl:value-of select="link"/>

</xsl:for-each>
</marquee>
</body>
</html>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

It works perfectly for the local saved copy of the xml file, but that is no good. I need a way to use this stylesheet to format an xml file on another webserver (bbc.co.uk - see previous post). Is there anyone that can help me out here?
