(Very) Simple RSS Feed Block?

Would anyone have a script for a block which just brings in the RSS feed url and has a scrollbar to scroll through the content?

Thank you frold ... yes, I have looked at that as well as the block add-on posted I think by Christian_N. I just needed something very very simple just for the portal.
Here is an example of something I whipped together ...
Code: Select all
<!-- Surfline RSS Feed Block -->
<!-- Created by Tribal Surf (c) 2008 -->
<!-- http://www.tribalsurf.net -->
<!-- http://www.surfline.com/-->
<div class="portal-panel">
<span class="portal-corners-top"><span></span></span>
<h3>Surfline RSS Feed</h3><br /></div>
<div style="margin-top: -10px; background-color:#D2D9E3;">
<div style="border: 0;background-color:#D2D9E3; width:175px; height:180px; overflow:auto; color:#FFF;">
<script language="javascript" src="http://www.rss-info.com/rss2.php?integration=js&windowopen=1&rss=http://www.surfline.com/rss/region.cfm?alias=sealbeachcam&number=100&width=175&ifbgcol=D2D9E3&bordercol=D2D9E3&textbgcol=D2D9E3&rssbgcol=D2D9E3&showrsstitle=0&showtext=1"> </script>
</div>
</div>
<div class="portal-panel"><br />
<span class="portal-corners-bottom"><span></span></span>
</div>
<br style="clear:both" />
I do not like this for 3 reasons. 1) I haven't figured out a way to reduce the font size or apply other styles, 2) the scrollbar looks huge, and 3) I had to use a portal block script I slapped together to allow no padding but does not look good in IE6.

Ok I came up with a very simplistic RSS feed portal block.
This one runs off of a custom profile field which then selects a particular surf report from Surfline and feeds the RSS into the block. The downside is that it relies on a third party parser.
