RSS Viewer web part customization

Question

I am trying to customize RSS Viewer web part (modifying XSLT thorugh designer) to display a custom message when there are no feeds available or the feed URL site is down. Not sure about the Sample data property of RSS Viewer web part. Can anyone please help me with this?

Answer 1

The Sample Data property has to do with showing fake data for testing.  You might want to just replace the default text with JavaScript or jQuery on the page load.

It didn't solve my problem, because when  page loads with a rss viewer web part and I see the source (HTML) for the page, I don't see anything which I can change through javascript or jQuery. It doesn't even display links text in html source. I tried to find the messages displayed by RSS viewer web part in html source but they are not available. So wasn't sure how replace the default text if I don't even see it in rendered HTML.

Any thoughts?
