Martin, so your suggesting these edits...

Martin, is this more closer to what your talking about? I'm still confused
but maybe rightfully so, this is somewhat new to me.
Haven't quite figured out what the results of the loop will be, I suppose
the loop will yield "day name" and "hi temp" till it runs out of days?
CoffeeCup HTML editor shows the URL as "remarked out" due to the double //
as with...
loadXml('http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/23218?cc=&dayf=7')
I can't get the code to execute, keep getting script errors when I open the
HTA file.
Also, I wonder if there is a way to do this with a list index (or something)
and assign a variable name to each item in the index. Every parent/child
element text content gets added to the index. The index could start with 1
and end up where ever it does. (just thinking out loud here)
Thanks once again Martin!
Richard in VA.
