drupal rss feed not displaying in IE7

Question

I'm generating some RSS feeds from my Drupal site. They work fine in Firefox and IE8, but in IE6 and 7 it is displaying the XML. The feed location is at http://www.leanarts.org.uk/general/feed .

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

IE6 does not have a native RSS reader, so plain XML is perfectly normal and expected. If a "prettified" view in IE6 is important, you might want to look at using client side XSLT to smarten it up (see this answer How to display Atom/RSS feeds in browser with custom XSLT? for some useful pointers for example).

Not sure about IE7 I'm afraid, I don't have a copy to hand right now. Your feed seems to be meeting all the publishing requirements for IE7 though http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rssteam/archive/2005/08/02/publishersguide.aspx
