Parsing rss with javascript?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 22.2007

I was doing a bit of deisgning for my upcomming site and I was using a script which was running very slow, not because of my server, but because of the remote page it was getting some info from. I was wondering if there was a way to find the most recent entry to a rss feed and display it using javascript? Php would work fine too, I just think that may be more complex. Any help at all would be very appreacated. I did google around a bit and didn’t find much.

[code=php]
echo file_get_contents('http://www.cnn.com');
[/code]

Then just get the php file on your server from javascript.

Success!
