Hello,
Bumping the post, but am in desperate need to figure this out.
I need a way to get a Kelkoo generated feed to go into MYSQL DB.
If any body can help me i can give you the details to generate the xml. The problem is i cant directly give it, because it expires after a while.
Thanks,
Mihir.

You can't do that with html/css alone. This is mainly an html/css forum so you might try asking on a more appropriate one.
I could change my plea to guilty,
but I don't think it would stick.

If you have been reading threads for awhile you should be aware that posting the same quesion on separate forums is considered a breach of etiquette around here.

Hi,
I found tons of these softwares that could do xml to csv conversions. But the XML is somehow catchy. Dunno why. Can you please test it for me? I want it to go to the MySQL DB. I will send the feed generation details by PM. Also because the feed expires in a couple of hours, so its no point, posting the direct link.

It is my understanding that what you ask is not exactly a straight forward conversion. I can only suggest you select a likely looking application and learn its ins and outs. It's not something I have the need, desire or time to do.

Well, the "right" way to transfer one format to another on the web is XSLT I believe. But that's neither html nor CSS.
