Hi guys

I have been greatly interested in the last couple of User Groups, where @PatrickRyan has been talking about Feeds, and incorporating them in your XModPro Forms and Templates.  

I am not a natural xml/html coder and JQuery is pretty new to me as well as the finer points of XModPro - I am looking forward to all the installments of Patrick's book 

https://discoverxmodpro.com/ - Is excellent value and have already used something from most chapters

In playing with Feeds on my site, I thought I would share some of what I have found:

1.  Unit test your feed - If you want to include a feed, use the URL Command line option with some sample data to make sure it renders correctly.  There is a "How to: call a feed" link at the top of the feeds tab.

2. Browser Console is your friend - Shows the generated HTML and helps you to identify various components, and why your feed may not be showing as expected. (names of DIV was what I found)

3. JQuery $('#'+ Clientname.divname) - When you look at the raw HTML, some of the DIV may not resolve the whole element reference (from my experience)  In one reference I could use $(Divname)

All I can think of at the moment, but if I think of some more I will post up.  Greetings from Down Under
