im using the external data to show news on a page. however its only showing the links.. is there a way it can show the first post of each thread below each link?

example of what is showing now:

Name of Topic on: 06-04-2009 by googlexx 06:17 PM
Name of Topic on: 06-01-2009 by googlexx 05:08 PM
Name of Topic Posted on: 05-31-2009 by googlexx 02:24 PM
Name of Topic 05-29-2009 by googlexx 09:24 AM

what i want it to show:

Name of Topic on: 06-04-2009 by googlexx 06:17 PM

What the first post of the topic says. the content

Name of Topic on: 06-01-2009 by googlexx 05:08 PM

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://xxx/forums/external.php?type=js&forumids=2"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
	for (var i = 0; i < threads.length; i++)
	{
		document.write('<a href="http://xxx/forums/showthread.php?t=' + threads[i]['threadid'] + '">' + threads[i]['title'] + '</a> <em>Posted on: ' + threads[i]['threaddate'] + ' by ' + threads[i]['threadtime'] + '</em><br />');

//-->
</script>

</body>

You cannot do it using javascript, no. You would have to use an actually query on the page to grab that information.
