On the web page I am designing I am trying to display current weather conditions and temperature. Say for example if I wanted to use the data from www.weatherchannel.com how would I go about retrieving and displaying this data??

do a google search. I know that fron page has a control that you place on the form that will link to a web site and obtain weather information for your area of interest. My not be exaclty what you are looking for but it might be a start. The control is just some code that creates an object and supplies it with an url address that supplies the area code and state. Something like that.

Several web sites offer an RSS feed. The following in particular:
- http://www.undergroundlondon.com/weather/
- http://www.weatherzone.com.au/weatherYourSite.jsp
Regards.

Buntine-
I found some more RSS feeds for my area (Virginia Beach, VA), but none with the simplicity of the one for yours from Australia. Do you know any more like the weatherzone's one for the United States?

Nar, sorry. There seems to be plenty available -- the trouble is finding one thats good!
Google found some helpful results. I havent tried Yahoo yet.
