How to get Explorer 7 to pick up my RSS link

JJ
I have a link on a page on my site that when clicked presents the XML which
repesents the RSS feed for the page.

I can't seem to get Internet Explorer to automatically light up its 'RSS
FEED' icon - i.e. its not detecting the rss.

How can I make explorer see the feed?

Thanks,

JJ

It takes a single link element in the header section of a Web page to ensure
browsers recognize the RSS file for your site:

<head runat="server">

<link rel="alternate"

type="application/rss+xml"

title="Some Web Site's RSS Feed"

href="http://someweb.net/rss.aspx" />
</head>

Here's more info:

Thanks Steve. I couldn't find that information anywhere. Now I need to see
if I can programmatically add that to the header, as the master page is also
used in pages without RSS feeds on them.
