Lulio Vargas	Saturday 08 November 2008 2:54:38 pm The initial form for new RSS Imports has an input field that's suppose to validate the submitted "Source URL" feed. If the feed is valid, then the form is refreshed so I can add the rest of the input values. Well somehow, Exponential is rejecting most of my feed submissions. Even feeds that I have previously tested as good thru the http://feedvalidator.org are rejected! Can someone explain what's Exponential validation criteria for RSS Imports? Are there any listings of valid feeds that I can try in my website? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
Lulio Vargas	Saturday 08 November 2008 6:31:54 pm I'm very sorry! This was a premature post. I hadn't tested the solution in Firefox. I normally use Safari, and I keep forgetting that Safari has trouble reading correctly from text input fields like the one titled "Source URL" in the RSS Import setup form. I find that, in general, Safari does the job correctly when there are no input forms with text fields involved in the operation. I understand the eZ Systems crew is working to bring Safari 3 into compliance. I hope the fix will be released soon! My apology again!
