could you use an iframe to display their page?

hi wildwobby...

if i understand you correctly...
you want to have the same exact image on your page that is on a the weather.com page at any given moment...
but you don't want to do anything manually to accomplish it...
nor do you want to link to it in any way.

your funny :)

It's funny because it's next to impossible. You might be able to use something like this:

Just create the direct link to that specific image and have your page automatically refresh every few minutes or so...if I remember correctly, weather.com updates it's satellite images every hour.

Or...as an alternative, you could develop your own Doppler Radar system that displays to your web page only... :D

You can do that using Java or any other programming language. For this
you will need a servlet to communicate with your HTML page and you will have to run a webserver with servlet engine. Tomcat is a free one.You can get it from here

http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.1.24/bin/

..JavaScript/HTML does not have the ability to do so.
However, if you know that weather.com updates forecasts in an XML file that you can use wuth JavaScript and display it on a page.
