I was told a serverside langauge I could do this easily. I'm a graphic designer, I always have great ideas on web design but I lack the coding langauge expertise to complete my ideas. I'm learning alittle bit if CSS now and I used to code in HTML and alittle of Javascript along time ago. I'm trying to write a code that goes out to a site like:
http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=03061
grabs the current weather condition (grabs the current "code=#"and then changes the background image on my page to correspond. Can anyone help?

try the this link (http://68.145.69.213/servlets/WeatherServlet?displayCityList=true)

I think thats what you want. Get a RSS feed from weather service provider and display the part that you want?

2 options.
A. Use java server side and parse the rss feed
B. Use PHP to do the same
and return the html for display..

Take a look at the link and let me know if thats what u are looking for
