How to get quotes from other sites by using XMLHTTP?

[redapple]

Hi,

We would like to get a quote from another website and insert it into one of my ASP pages. I was told I can accomplish this by using XMLHTTP to get the page and then parsing it.

I have little basic XML knowledge, therefore wonder if someone could point out a direction for me or share his/her experience. Any help is appreciated. Thank You!

If you search the ASP forum for yahoo and XMLHTTP then you will find anm example posted a few weeks ago that explained how to use the object to parse the current temperature out of a yahoo page.
