Yahoo RSS News Feed Help!

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this?

I want to use yahoos news feeds on my site.
When I put a direct URL link to an XML file on my computers CFMX Server It works.

Example:
<CFHTTP URL="http://localhost:8500/news/health.xml" METHOD="get" RESOLVEURL="no"/>

Now when I direct the URL link to Yahoos feed it comes up with an error saying that a Document root element is missing!

Can anyone help me with this.

Here Is my code:

<CFHTTP URL="http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/health" METHOD="get" RESOLVEURL="no"/>

<CFSCRIPT>
objRSS = trim(cfhttp.filecontent);
objRSS = XMLParse(objRSS);
</CFSCRIPT>

<CFSET XMLRoot = objRSS.XmlRoot >
<CFSET News_Length = arraylen(XMLRoot.channel.item) >

<CFLOOP index="i" from="1" to="#News_Length#" >
<CFSET item_title = XMLRoot.channel.item.title.xmltext >
<CFSET item_link = XMLRoot.channel.item.link.xmltext >
<CFSET item_pubDate = XMLRoot.channel.item.pubDate.xmltext >
<CFSET item_description = XMLRoot.channel.item.description.xmltext >
<CFOUTPUT>
<STRONG>#item_title#</STRONG><br/>
#item_pubDate#<br/>
<a href="#item_link#">#item_description#</a><br/>
<br/>
</CFOUTPUT>
</CFLOOP>



Thanks

You're just not using the correct XML root element. Try using the <rss> or the <channel> element. Remember that XML objects are referenced in array and structure syntax like someelement[1].subelement[1].
