and I want it to get the current condition (cloudy, raining, sunny, etc.) and the temp in Fahrenheit... can someone help me please?

That WebService is implemented in .NET - I don't think that .NET is SOAP compliant.

oh, ohkay,
thank you


see, I am currently getting the weather by parsing a weather.gov website, but the thing is the URL for that is not based on just a zipcode, so customizing it is not easy... but it is a pretty sweet script, but fat and hard to customize. It is a applescript studio app that you can just use different scripts to change what the image on the background is. This is the Weather script:

you could try this one:

http://www.xmethods.net/ve2/ViewList...0-6C2DBE1685F8

Code:
---- Main script ----------------------------------------
set myZip to 90210
display dialog getTemperature(myZip)


-- This handler makes the SOAP request.
on getTemperature(zipCode)
	set methodName to "getTemp"
	set namespace to "urn:xmethods-Temperature"
	set SOAPAction to ""
	tell application "http://services.xmethods.net:80/soap/servlet/rpcrouter"
		return call soap ¬
			{method name:methodName, method namespace uri:namespace, parameters:{sourcedata:zipCode as string} ¬
				, SOAPAction:SOAPAction}
	end tell
end getTemperature

Here's another version of the script that uses growl to show the temperature. (and more detailed aviation meterology )

Code:
---- Main script ----------------------------------------
set heathrow to "LHR"
set localWeather to getWeather(heathrow)

--Format the weather
set the NoteTitle to |name| of station of localWeather
set theDescription to |string| of sky of localWeather & " :temperature:  " & |string| of temperature of localWeather

--Display a Notification
try
tell application "GrowlHelperApp"
	set myAllNotesList to {"tempNote"}
	register as application "SOAPTemperature" all notifications myAllNotesList default notifications {"tempNote"} icon of application "Script Editor"
	
	notify with name "tempNote" title NoteTitle description theDescription application name "SOAPTemperature"
end tell
on error 
display dialog (noteTitle & " : " & theDescription)
end



-- This handler makes the SOAP request.
on getWeather(airportCode)
	set methodName to "getWeatherReport"
	set namespace to "capeconnect:GlobalWeather:GlobalWeather"
	set mySOAPAction to "capeconnect:GlobalWeather:GlobalWeather#getWeatherReport"
	tell application "http://live.capescience.com:80/ccx/GlobalWeather"
		return call soap ¬
			{method name:methodName, method namespace uri:namespace, parameters:{sourcedata:airportCode as string} ¬
				, SOAPAction:mySOAPAction}
	end tell
end getWeather
