Creating a simple Internet Explorer 8 web slice to display RSS Feed
Creating a simple Internet Explorer 8 web slice is pretty easy to do. This example shows how to add a button to your page that will add a web slice to display any valid RSS feed. Again this web slice will display an RSS feed. In this case the web slice displays the RSS feed from this blog.
<input type="button" value="Add Web Slice" class="addButton"
onclick='window.external.AddToFavoritesBar(
"http://feeds.feedburner.com/Officepoint?format=xml",
"OfficePoint RSS Feed", "slice");' />
IE 8 Accelerator Sample Example
This is an example of an IE 8 Accelerator. It doesn't tell you how to create one but it is itself a definition for an accelerator. This is a very simple one that adds an Accelerator that will just redirect the user to OfficePoint when clicked.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<os:openServiceDescription xmlns:os="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/openservicedescription/1.0">
<os:homepageUrl>http://officepoint.blogspot.com</os:homepageUrl>
<os:display>
<os:name>Visit OfficePoint</os:name>
<os:icon>http://blogitems.googlepages.com/office.ico</os:icon>
<os:description>Visit my site</os:description>
</os:display>
<os:activity category="Visit">
<os:activityAction context="document">
<os:execute action="http://officepoint.blogspot.com" method="get" />
</os:activityAction>
</os:activity>
</os:openServiceDescription>
In order to add an Accelerator you'll need add a button that adds the service.
