Another option is to declare a prefix for the namespace and use it in the root element. This will break the “

Yea, I imagine that would be possible. Take a look here: http://nfriedly.com/stuff/rss/?url=http://feeds.gawker.com/lifehacker/full

And then run this in the address bar: javascript:void(jQuery(‘a img’).css(‘border’,'5px solid green’))

That works, so a lightbox function would probably also work.

Since you use jQuery, is it possible to add say a light window function if an image exists in the RSS feed?

Nope, I tested a few things in opera and did not find a way to make rss work correctly.

Hi. It does not work on Opera 9.64 but it works on IE 8 and the latest FF.
How can we make it work in Opera too? Do you have any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Hey, thanks for that article, that is helpful.

I read a long flamewar arguing back and forth the pros and cons of having a special case for RSS. There’s a lot of people on both sides of the issue, but I think that it’s a “feature” that they can drop from firefox.

i’ve not used XSL in a few years but now i’m wanting to use it with a project. i am very surprised about this RSS/ATOM handling by Firefox. This just does not make sense. It should at least be an option that is turned off by default and maybe an alert message (like you get when a popup window tries to load) tells user that they can activate auto-styling for RSS feeds.

anyway, thanks for the post. I also found the official mozilla bug mentioning this work-around – https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XSL_Transformations_in_Mozilla_FAQ
