Can someone help me create an OPML document with my webpages, not feeds. I need it for products, including bath, candles, soaps, etc.

Thanks,
Don

I’m glad that fixed it, I’ll also check why we’re not ignoring the
tags. When I get a chance I’m going to put a pointer to this on my blog.

ok, that didn’t take long..

you were right mike. got rid of the
tags – the OPML file validates and Slider now works.

updates the opml.phps file too!

thanks again -

thanks mike, i figured the weirdness had to do with the OPML file i was generating so i tried to validate it using OPML Validator Beta and it passed without errors. But now i see that in the KB OPML Validator it fails miserably giving errors due to
tags. i have no idea why i put those
tags there in the first place. i guess it was pretty late last night and i started playing around with things too much. i'm going to try things again without the
tags and see if the problem is resolved. i'll also post about it here in the comments and update the download to reflect any changes. keep up the good work @ Grazr !

Very cool use! This exactly the kind of use we hoped people would begin to explore once we released Grazr 1.0. I’m not positive, but I’m guessing the ‘weirdness’ in the slider mode navigation has to do with the OPML file being generated being invalid. We try *really* hard not to be too anal on what we accept for file format, but sometimes things can get tripped up. The opml you’re generating has a
tag at the end of each node. Technically this isn’t valid opml (although we should be ignoring it). I’m guessing it’s that extra tag that’s causing the slider to act strange. I’ll look into it some more, but again kudos on the really cool use! Soon, we’re going to set up pages on Grazr.com that highlight neat applications like yours.
