DOM - Document Object Modeling - Help

After talking to some of the class members, I realized I'm not alone when it comes being lost on the mini project 3. I read Chapters 4, 4.5, and 6 and I do understand what's going on in their example I just don't know what those examples have to do with my miniproject (weather), which displays Ann Arbor weather. I know that the requirement for mini project 3 is to incorporate DOM methods. My question is, not why and how; but what do I need to use the DOM for?

Milot, I spoke with Mike yesterday, and he had made some progress. Same story with a couple of others.

With Weatherbug, the data is sent to you in xml. Use a dom method to pull the data out of the xml and another to put it in your html. It's very much like Chapter 6, just your xml format is different.
