| How do I get the RSS button to illuminate in IE7 when my page contains a
link to an RSS feed?
I have a link:
<a href="rss.xml">RSS Feed</a>
yet the IE7 browser doesn't illuminate the RSS Feed found on this page
button.
Why not?!
TIA

Since it is just a link and gives no (standardised) indication that
its a link to RSS.

Put this in your <head>
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="rss.xml">

Thanks to both of you. I had already put both in, but it wasn't working
until I re-read my code and I had pasted the link rel into the title tags in
the head! D'oh!
Cheers!

Because browsers look for a different hint, see:

Make also sure that your feed passes validation (links are given in
article).

IE7 isn't the only (or even the best) user agent that supports RSS
feeds. Fortunately, if you follow the standards and guidelines for
use of RSS links, they'll work for users of superior browsers too.
