[opensuse] How To Enable JavaScript in Akregator?
Hi, Some of the RSS feeds I subscribe to use JavaScript (one won't display at all without it) and I can't seem to get Akregator to enable it for the Web pages it displays. There's no option in the Akregator settings themselves and JavaScript is enabled globally in Konqueror and there are no domain-specific restrictions defined. Is there a way to get JavaScript enabled in Akregator? I'm running SuSE Linux 10.0 / Akregator 1.2.5 / Konqueror 3.5.5 / KDE 3.5.5 "release 45.2".

I expect I'm showing my ignorance but I'm curious. I haven't seen this before (I don't use RSS much :) Could you post an example of such a feed? Is it really an RSS feed or is it content recoded for delivery via Javascript or AJAX? Sorry, I can't help with your question.

Well, RSS feed entries include HTTP URLs that lead to Web pages. Akregator can show them directly, but several of my favorites, especially Tom's Hardware Guide, use JavaScript extensively and one, Bits du Jour won't display its pages at all without JavaScript enabled. I don't know what it might mean for content to be "recoded for delivery via Javascript or AJAX." - Tom's Hardware Guide: Articles <http://www.tomshardware.com/articles.xml> - Tom's Hardware Guide: Hard News <http://www.tomshardware.com/hardnews/news.xml> - Bits du Jour <http://www.bitsdujour.com/rss>
Sorry, I can't help with your question.

Ah, I'm beginning to understand. Thanks for indulging me :) I use the Sage extension in Firefox for my limited RSS browsing. If I go to the sites below (though not the actual URLs) I can find RSS feeds that seem to have the same content. The links you give appear to use a third-party to format the feeds with adverts when I try to display them with Firefox. I don't understand why. I can display the bits du jour feed fine, but if I click on the URL in one to go to the bits du jour site itself, it says "This website requires JavaScript to be enabled. Please change your internet options." (I've turned off Javascript in Firefox for the moment) So, AFAICT, what you're asking is that when Akregator displays a web page, you'd like it to use Javascript. I don't use Akregator (I don't even use KDE :) but I see from its site that it "contains a simple web browser ... the browser in Akregator is not intended to replace your Favourite Web Browser". So I guess it may not understand Javascript. Perhaps there's a config option to use another browser? There doesn't seem to be any online documentation :(

When I googled, I found a few links for services that provide 'RSS' via javascripts instead of true RSS.
