I have a membership site where, among other things, users get their own personalized portal page. I want to include a small area displaying the user's local weather forecast, and have found something that I think will work at ht*p://www.ejse.com/services/weather_xml_web_services.htm. However, I can't figure out how to incorporate it into the page.

The idea would be to take the user's zip code (associated with their site profile) and use it to return their weather. But I don't have the slightest idea how to use the XML supplied by the source above to get the desired result. Any and all pointers will be appreciated!

Thanks,

Matthew

I read through "XML All-In-One Desk Reference for Dummies"
It looks easy when you start, but be prepared to spend some time studying. There are a lot of details.
