Extracting image from RSS feed

[Kevin]

I am using google's AJAX FeedControl API (http://googleajaxsearchapi.blogspot.in/2007/05/ajax-feed-api-update.html). I dont see a way to display images from feeds. Is there any hack/way to extract images from feed ?

Not sure whether this query has been asked earlier or not, however let me know if anyone knows...

Thanks in advance....

You could, in theory, hack the FeedControl to do this, but it would be a pain considering that the API is compiled, and the compiled name spaces aren't consistent from one version to the next. The Dynamic Feed Control used to diaplay a pic, if I recall, but its documentation was pulled lonbg ago, and I don't think I would rely on it. I would therefore  build a custom control. Look in the documentation for some ideas as to how you might do this, but you'll want to be familiar with DOM methods at least. And if you ever anticipate a situation where you would have multiple controls on the same page, you'll want to have a grasp of JS prototyping (NOT the JS library Prototype).

All that said, you should be aware that the Feeds API TOS indicate that the deprecation policy will no longer apply after April 2015, meaning that the entire service may be shut down at any time, with or without warning, after that date. So you may want to build your own feed parser back end for your custom control. Just a suggestion.

Instead of using that, you could use consider Yahoo Pipes to do what you want. 

http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=99c75f29bda45f9b0df41e0a3d10f403 

or 

http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=91bc6b10bedef9ff34528dc3dc7143f7

might be good existing pipes to start with.
