Consume namespace values in google.feeds.Feed(feedUrl)

[uninvitedinquirer]

Hello Google API developers,

I have imported the namespace xmlns:ev="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/event/" into my RSS feed, adding <ev:startdate>2011-10-19</ev:startdate>, for example,  to my RSS feed. I can consume the  'standard' RSS items...  title, link, descripton, throught the Google Feed API using var entry = result.feed.entries[0]; and say newsBlockTitleWrapper.innerHTML = "<a href='"+entry.link+"'>"+entry.title+"</a>";.

However I was questioning how I do I consume the namespace ev items, a guess would be var eventdate = document.createElement("p");eventdate.appendChild(document.createTextNode(new Date(entry.ev:startdate))); but to no avail... ns defines it as a date.

 

Can I drop the ev namespace in the RSS feed?, or can I have to search and replace of var entry = result.feed.entries[0]; replacing <ev:startdate> with <startdate>, so I can then consume it via var eventdate = document.createElement("p");eventdate.appendChild(document.createTextNode(new Date(entry.startdate)));

 

Any help much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

The API doesn't just automatically make custom namespace elements available in the JS. You will need to get the feed in MIXED format and then use DOM methods to navigate the entry.xmlNode node to find what you're looking for.
