im only really starting out in the world on AJAX and this kinda stuff so any help would be appreciated.

EDI开发者_开发问答T :- I am only trying to do this with Jquery and Ajax, I dont want to use PHP or any other server side code.

You want to first create an interface in HTML that allows one to read and subscribe to RSS feeds. You also need to find a way to store the RSS feeds subscribed.

Then you want to use AJAX to get the remote document. I assume you're doing this in jQuery as your tag indicate it does, so you can refer to this: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

Then, you need to parse the XML that's returned. Check out a RSS tutorial -> http://www.w3schools.com/rss/default.asp and use the jQuery library to parse the data (HTML is kinda like XML, so the jQuery methods still works for XML/RSS) -> http://think2loud.com/reading-xml-with-jquery/

Lastly. Display your data by constructing your interface with JavaScript.
