Embedding News into your own Web pages

Javascript

For PHP pages see below. For html pagesjust copy the javascript code below and paste it into one of your web pages. Shortly after news is added, it will appear on your site.

<script language="JavaScript" src="http://convert.rss-to-javascript.com/?simple_chan=1&desc=1&desc_max=60&date=0&num=5&font_size=10&bgcolor=ffffcc&src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.windmillsoft.com%2Fmonitor.xml"> </script><noscript><a href="http://www.windmillsoft.com/monitor.xml">Click to read the latest measurement and control news</a>.</noscript>

If you would prefer a different look, just edit the javascript code.

• To show more headlines edit &num=5
• For a different text size edit &font_size=10
• To open links in a new window, change the 0 to 1 in link_openblank=0"
• To remove the descriptions below the headlines, change &desc=1 to &desc=0
• To change the length of the descriptions, change &desc_max=60
• To change the size of the text, change &font_size=10 (or, to set the text size to that of your stylesheet, delete &font_size=10)
• To change the colour of the text, change &fgcolor=000000 (or, to set the colour to that of your stylesheet, delete &fgcolor=000000)

<?php # To use this code your server must be running a recent version of PHP $news_link = "http://www.feedrollpro.com/view_rss.php?type=php&source_id=172&feed_width=200&frame_color=black&title_textcolor=blue&title_bgcolor=yellow&box_textcolor=black&box_bgcolor=ffffcc&feed_showborder=1&feed_spacing=2&feed_align=left&feed_textsize=10&feed_textfont=Arial%2C+Helvetica%2C+sans-serif&feed_maxitems=10&feed_compact=1&feed_xmlbutton=1&link_openblank=0&feed_postdate=0"; @include($news_link); ?>
