RSS / XML Noob Problem

Hello everyone. I have a problem with an RSS feed that is giving me an output of:

"[ERROR] Error Domain=com.google.GDataXML Code=-1 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.google.GDataXML error -1.)". in -[TiDOMDocumentProxy parseString:] (TiDOMDocumentProxy.m:48)"

I have tried using both the rss.js and xml_rss.js and have the same problem. From what I understand is the RSS feed doesn't have a valid XML and I need to parse the HTML instead.

I have looked at other examples in help but I just don't understand it or what files I need. Thanks in advance for your help, I'm rather new at JS so I'm learning as I go.

  • Check you're not trying to parse something the parser doesn't like - an ampersand for example.

    Ti.XML.parseString chokes on those.

    • The feed address doesn't contain any weird characters, or are you referring to the content the feed is looking for?

      The examples I have seen have a web address that ends in ".xml" the only one I can find is ".com/feed"
