HTML for scripts

If you are familiar with .php, perl or .asp then you probably build your web sites and content using one of those languages. We can provide our feed content in HTML for direct injection into your scripts.

Why?

By feeding HTML you overcome the need to parse RSS XML feeds, we also provide style sheet formatting and give you the ability to decide what information you want returned and how much.

How do I use this?

The following example demonstrates how to inject the feed into your page when using PHP, we will also explain the parameters that are sent to the script and the effect they have on the results.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
	<title>Test</title>
	<style>
		a {	
			text-decoration: underline;
			color: rgb(162, 162, 162);
		 }
		a:hover { 
			text-decoration: none; 
			color: rgb(162, 162, 162);
		}
	
		.bfFeedContainer {
			border: 1px solid rgb(128, 128, 128);
			background-color: rgb(251, 251, 254);
		}
		
		.bfNewsContainer {
			color: rgb(62, 62, 62); 
			font-size: 10px; 
			font-family:verdana, Sans-serif;

		.bfItemTitle {

			font-size: 10px; 
			font-family:verdana, Sans-serif;
			background-color: rgb(128, 128, 128);
		}
		
		.bfItemDescription {
			color: rgb(162, 162, 162);
			font-size: 9px;

		.bfChannelTitle {
			font-size: 12px; 
			color: rgb(255, 62, 62);
			font-style: italic;

		.bfChannelDescription {
