Description
For this assignment we are going to create a simple RSS document by hand and create a stylesheet to display it.
The rss channel element should contain the required elements plus one or more of the optional elements.
The item element should contain a minimum of title, description and url. The url doesn't have to connect to anything real. You can use other elements if you wish
Save the file with an .xml extension. IE chokes if it gets an .rss file raw--that is not through a aggregator
Create an XSLT stylesheet to display the RSS. The links should be valid hyperlinks even if they don't point to an actual site
Here is an example of how to create a hyperlink in XSLT:
<a> <xsl:attribute name="href"> <xsl:value-of select="link"/> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of select="title"/> </a>
You set the anchor element <a> and then start an attribute with the name "href". You use the xsl:value-of element to insert the value into the attribute. Close the attribute and then insert the text of the title as the text of the link. Finally you close the anchor element
Later we will create a more dynamic feed from sql server. This assignment is just to get you familiar with the structure of rss
To turn in
Print or email me the code for the rss, the XSLT and any CSS
