    Read off external website

    I am not good at any code. I would like to make a javascript or html code that will read things off weather.com like what the weather is or what the traffic conditions are. Help is great. I have no clue on going about doing this.

    Oftentimes, those sites will provide RSS feeds for what you are looking for.

    magpierss.sourc eforge.net is a great php parser, and an extensive list of parsers are here: http://rssgov.com/rssparsers.html

    Hope that gives you a decent starting point.

        Why not use an iframe? See link.

            Can I have the iframe read a spacific part of the web site? Can I have the iframe link to a url? Thanks.

              See the example from the link. Specify the url in the src attribute. This would display the whole page.
