RSS Feed not working in IE7

Hi there,

I'm generating an RSS feeds from my Drupal site using a view. It works fine in Firefox and IE8, but in IE7 it is displaying the XML. The feed location is at http://www.leanarts.org.uk/general/feed.

Can anyone help?

I've noticed a similar problem.
I see RSS feeds fine in Firefox (always have) and SeaMonkey (largely FF under the hood) but in Google Chrome I see the XML.
From a few searches, it looks like browsers need to have feed readers 'installed'. I'm guessing FF has a reader by default.
For Chrome I found this page https://chrome.google.com/extensions/search?itemlang=&q=rss .
I'm guessing it's a similar story for IE.
It shouldn't be long before 99% of MS users are using IE8+, so your problem will gradually go away...

Cheers
Alan

Thanks

for your response. I think I may just add a warning to users that the feed may not work in older versions of IE. I'm not sure I share your confidence on users upgrading to IE8 before long though. I still know people and organisations happily using IE6.
