Need help with a javascript
I known next to nothing about javascript, but would really like to make a javascript that does the following; fetch the date of the most recent article of an rss feed, and then change the class of an object depending on how many days ago that most recent article was published .
So if you know any helpful javascript message boards/forums where somebody could help me make this script happen, or if you know any good websites/books which would teach me the javascript techniques needed to make this scripts, could you please leave a reply.
Thank you ahead of time for your help.

xactly, commonly known as “ajax” (Asynchronous JavaScript + XML), for short. Here’s a big list of ajax resources, some of which are basic tutorials to help you get started. Since you want to handle feeds, which are xml, I would think it would be easy once you learn how it works. :)
