I don't know if this is the right board for this question.

I'm making a website. I would like to get the current temperature of Los Angeles and show it in my main page.

It will say : Los Angeles current temperature is X
where
X is a variable that I will get from yahoo.
I'm trying to avoid a link with yahoo that will show a yahoo
page.

In other words, we're getting fresh info from yahoo whenever
the main page is requested but would not show that it is coming from yahoo or the weather channel.

Thanks in advance,

roland

ugly, but does the job (unless they change their page layout)

<%@language=&quot;vbscript&quot; enablesessionstate=&quot;false&quot;%>
<%dim obj_xmlhttp
set obj_xmlhttp = Server.CreateObject(&quot;Microsoft.XMLHTTP&quot;)
obj_xmlhttp.open &quot;get&quot;, &quot; false
obj_xmlhttp.setRequestHeader &quot;Content-type:&quot;, &quot;text/html&quot;
obj_xmlhttp.send
dim str_yahoo
dim str_start, str_end, lng_start
str_start = &quot;<tr><td align=center nowrap><font size=+2 face=Arial><b>&quot;
str_end = &quot;</b>&quot;
str_yahoo = obj_xmlhttp.responsetext
lng_start = instr(str_yahoo, str_start)
lng_start = lng_start+len(str_start)
str_yahoo = mid(str_yahoo, lng_start, instr(lng_start, str_yahoo, str_end)-lng_start)
set obj_xmlhttp = nothing
%><html><body>Current temp in LA: <%=str_yahoo%></body></html> codestorm

You're not a complete programmer unless you know how to guess.
I hope I never consider myself an 'expert'.

Nice, it's always fun to see someone else misusing the xmlhttp object :)
