Doesn't seem to load anything now. Just wondering when the feeds will be up and running.

Hmm it's loading for me? :ohnoes:

Not for runescape news, for tip.it news it still works.

This is what I get when I use your link:

 

 

 

This doesn't work for me on Opera, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. It only seems to work on Safari.

I'm using Internet Explorer and It says 'Feed Code Error'. I don't use anything else but Internet. :oops:

I think I've found the problem:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here's what is says in IE:

 

 

 

A semi colon character was expected.

 

Line: 9 Character: 47

Removing "f=43&" might help, but I'm just guessing.

 

 

 

Hope this helps. :

Yay, I'm not the only one.

It's using improper xml that doesn't load in most browsers, the version of Tripsis' browser just happens to know how to fix whatever is wrong and that's why it shows for her.

Is there something for firefox to fix it?

I have already figured out what might just fix it for all browsers in one clean shot. All that Tip.It's Admins will have to do is to replace the "&" with the appropriate "%xx" Hex Code, which should be "%26", and the feed should start working again. And if that doesn't work, they can also try "&&" and/or "&" to try and satisfy the feed reader functions. :)

 

 

 

And yes, I'm experiencing this problem on FireFox 1.5 also, which means most any browser will be affected. :(

The correct hex code would be &

I don't think I called "&" a "Hex Code"... It is only called a "Character Substitution", as far as I know... :-k

Technically it's a html name but it's all irrelevant really as html names are to my knowledge more standards complaint that he dec codes, hex codes or html numbers.

Considering the feed is breaking at the &; trying to use & isn't going to change anything. It has to be the hex code.

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: actually I just thought about that again for a minute and it's asking for an entity which & is, so either option should work.

I've tried both ("&" and "%26") in typing in a manual link... they fail, oddly enough. :(

 

 

 

About the only thing I can think of at this point, is to force the recognition of a literal character with a "&&" ... but even that's a longshot... However, it works for a manually-typed URL... :-k

 

 

 

(Bloody RSS... Couldn't the spec-writers have enough foresight to handle this in the first place?)

They did. & is an entity, which is displayed as a regular ampersand. & denotes the beginning of such an entity, which is causing the screw up. It doesn't need to work in a regular URL, when the page is parsed, the ampersand will take the place of & and the links will work fine.

 

 

 

On a side note, it's all good in google reader.

Really? I can see that there's the name of RS's updates in google reader, but when I go and click on the link I get "The requested topic does not exist."
