    When I click the RSS button on the Internet Explorer toolbar I get:
    Internet Explorer cannot display this feed

    Internet Explorer does not support feeds with DTDs.
    Go back to the previous page.

    More information

    This feed contains a DTD (Document Type Definition). DTDs are used to define a structure of a webpage. Internet Explorer does not support DTDs in feeds.
    This is on IE7 on Vista although it happens with IE7 on XP aswell.
    Is it just the way it is or is there something else I need to do?

    Ta.

    That sounds like a rather stupid bug in IE7, since the RSS spec allows for DTDs (well, some versions do and some don't, RSS format versions involved a rather stupid war that as someone who was a minor play in it I'd rather forget).

    With most implementations I can imagine, it should be easy enough for ecksor or Cloud to hack it to not depend on the DTD though, so I'll mark this thread for their attention.

    Anything happening with this or is it a non-runner?

    Seems not.

    IE7 not fixed the bug either then?

    Nah, still the same. Not to worry.
    Thanks Tall.
