They will most likely have a problem with it. They do publish tools that
have the same effect, but you have to go through a license agreement and
they can't be reformatted easily to just pull out the stuff you want.
Faced with the same problem, (on http://www.waveone.net/jerry/index.cfm) I
switched information suppliers. Get your forecast straight from the
government just like weather.com does. The National Weather Service is the
root source for 99% of published forecasts in the United States. Parse their
web pages. You paid for that information already with your tax dollars.

Thanks for all the replies.
Why then would Allaire allow tags in their developers gallery that do
exactly the same thing I am trying to do? Weatherchannel.com allows users to
place their information on your site, since they have a service that does
this for you. I see nothing wrong if I give them credit and link to them
like it does with their subscription.

help strip out unwanted characters. There are probably great examples of
this in the tags you mentioned that are in the Tag Gallery. And looks like
Brian has posted a good start for you.
