html or javascript geeks

[sen]

i have to make a 'converter' program for my html class...
we are currently learning javascript...

i would like to make a currency exchange program.. is there anyway i can extract from another website, the current USD exchange rate and plug it into code so that i don't have to prompt the user to enter it?

i much appreciate any help.
thanks.

thanks dude... BUT..

i have no clue how to extract the information from their website...
i think it has something to do with which cell it is in, but who the fuck knows... NOT ME...

anyone?

learn Perl. write an extraction script. call it from within your javascript (if that can be done).
