I'm using jQuery to display a Twitter feed on my website. I would like to be able to parse out the user's profile image, which is passed in a "media:content" or "google:image" elements. I've tried things like this:
author = $('item', xml).find('google:image').eq(0).text();
author = $('item', xml).find('media:content').href;
I'm just not sure what the exact syntax is. Any help would be appreciated. My code and RSS feed are below. Thanks!
The RSS feed from Twitter looks like this:
author = $('item', xml).find('google:image').eq(0).text();
author = $('item', xml).find('media:content').href;
I'm just not sure what the exact syntax is. Any help would be appreciated. My code and RSS feed are below. Thanks!
Code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$.get("/includes/twitter-functions.asp", {a:'xml', user:'mbac09', list:'keyword'}, function(xml){
// Build an HTML string
var myHTMLOutput = '';
var s = '';
var i;
var ci;
var description;
for (i=0; i<15; i++) {
ci = $('item', xml).eq(i);
description = ci.find('title').eq(0).text();
// description = getTwitterDisplay(description);
myHTMLOutput = myHTMLOutput + '<p>' + author + ': ' + description + "<br /><small><em>" + pubDate + "</em></small></p>";
}
// Update the DIV called Content Area with the HTML string
$("#Twitter").append(myHTMLOutput);
});
});The RSS feed from Twitter looks like this:
