Hello I'm new to java and am having trouble making a drop down list that draws the top 10 electronics from an rss feed for amazon using the rss link: http://www.amazon.com/rss/bestsellers/electronics/ref=pd_ts_rss_link. I;m familiar enough with drop down lists to have that part, but have no idea how to add the data for the rss feed. I'm trying to make it dynamic but so far what I have is static.

So far

I can provide the code that uses the XMLHttpRequest object to fill the drop-down list.
