Hi,

i am designing a website related to politics and news , so i have started front page has index.html,since its Html it cant be dynamic,so i ve planned, i ll give link to a jsp page called e-news.jsp here i want updated news that is daily news, i planned to write code which will take updated news from one of da news channel and it shud display in my site, is it possible????? can u help?? if yes how can i do that??

[rangana]

Yes, it's possible, I bet you mean to use RSS feed. You can also give it a google on feeds.

One important thing is that your page should be *.php and not *.html/l, or you could try JSP, unluckily, I don't have any idea about it.

Also, if you plan to proceed on RSS, just say so and I'll move you thread into server-side.

As rangna explained, you will need to use some kind of server side scripting language to do what you're proposing to do. There is no shortcut to getting where you want to go. You have some suggestions in this thread for scripting languages to use. Pick one, and start learning it, would be my suggestion. If learning a scripting language is not something you're willing to consider, then you'll need to find someone to develop this for you. And yes, you'll have to pay for it.

Hope this helps.

If you'll use RSS feed, it should be that the page is able to produce the feeds (XML). Also, if you plan to use a TXT file, this could be done by a simple PHP include.
Where you will just update that certain txt file, and you're back to business.

Hope that makes sense.
