Hello,  
I am trying to write a code to read an XML feed and then present the data with a little formating on my page in a div element. I can get everything working except pulling the text out of the feed. A sample of the feed is here [http://bdp.uwstout.edu/rss.xml](http://bdp.uwstout.edu/rss.xml)

I am very much new to trying to use Javascript for anything more than little animations, but I do know actionscript. If anyone can point me to a good tutorial that should work or knows how right off hand that would be great.

Side Note: I could do it with server-side but the server we are running on is limited to where I can’t do anything without jumping through hoops.

Thank you!
