using XML as a data source

[endodoug]

i'm new to XML and trying to take XML data from a URL and place it on
a webpage. can someone give me some direction?

I am given the XML at this location http://sportsfeeds.bodoglife.com/basic/CRTT.xml

I want to pick and choose the data to display.

thanks

Whip out your language of choice. Retrieve the document over
http. Stuff it into an XML parser (DOM/SAX/whatever).
Retrieve the data you need (using XPath, XSLT, XQuery, DOM
API or something else along these lines). Format as desired
(possibly using XSLT). Serve to the end user.

I want to pick and choose the data to display.

Go ahead, no objections from me.

If you are using XSL, consider using the "document" function. You
would have something like this in your XML file:

<content href="url.xml"/>

Then in your XSL you could have something like this:

<xsl:value-of select="document(@href)//tag_that_holds_data"/>

The reference can be a URL or file path.

Good luck,
