Hi there...

I need to create a web page that has approaching to another web site (cnn.com for example) in order to receive information about weather,into my site.
I know it is possible to do that with XML.

1. How do i do that?
2. How do I know where to look for that data? (the cnn.com its an
   example...)

NB: I need to do it in asp page (Visual Studio 6...)

Hey, Betsy

I see you've had this question up for a while. Now that I know you're using ASP, maybe I can be of better help.

I don't know what version of IIS XMLHttp ships with, but if you have Internet Explorer 5.5 or up, you can instantiate it using the following:


Dim objXMLHttp
set objXMLHttp = createObject ("Microsoft.XMLHttp")

objXMLHttp.Open "GET", "http://www.CNN.com", False


then, to retreive CNN.com's html, you do this

CNNHTML = objXMLHttp.responsetext


now CNNHTML contains the entire html of the CNN.com page, and you can parse that out leaving only the information you're interested in

Hope this helps




thanks

Oh,

I probably should add that you can add Post variables and send the request as Post, Get, etc.

Here's a cute little page that goes straight to the point on how to use XMLHttp.
