The Build a Feed Form has been changed to make it a bit more usable. In the previous versions and as our form options expanded, you had to keep scrolling up and down to get to the preview and generate buttons. I wanted to make them more reachable near the top of the page, and to make it so the preview button would open in a new window.a basic example is on http://members.fortunecity.com/slyeye/

Feed2JS is not written for "developers" but amateur web page creators who just want to stick an RSS feed in a furm, turn the crank, and get a chunk of code they can copy and paste into a web page to generate RSS content.
It would be a different task to use our script to grab the feed and return it as a lump of JavaScript for coders to parse via JaavaScript and I honestly do not have time or really an interest/reason to ioffer that as a service.
Hi Alan,
The service you are providing enables anyone with no server-side scripting experience/access the benifits of RSS.
This is a amazing service and i really love it. I just wanted to give something back for all the use i get from your service.
Providing the the actual raw rss is probably only useful to scriptkiddies. Thank you for looking into the idea anyway.
Keep up the great work,
slyi

Would it be possible to return the rss as one big javascript variable (rssvar+= instead of document.write ), and then the site developers can parse the rss feed directly?
See example of reading an crossdomain js variable below.
