Import RSS XML URL launches Blank Window instead of Listings. Please help!!!!
This is a xmlDoc.load routine through either IE or Firefox. An RSS URL is loaded into a form. After Onclick of a button a second window is launched and a parsed listing of the original RSS file is supposed to display in a separate window. But I am getting a blank page instead. I've tried this hundred of different waya, including using innerHTML, and or shifting the javascript to the bottom of the page (I thought it might have something to do with the javascript executing before the page was loaded). I cannot use <body onload> because everything must occur after onclicks. So the onclicks are in the header (DHTML), and I've shifted the javascript to the bottom of the page. Please help!!!!!
