Not sure what I'm looking at

I'm getting lost as to what the question is asking for. So far I've gone for getting the text but am not sure about where the div comes in and inserting the text into the #main. I'm reading api.jquery but am still lost.

weather.js 
$(document).ready(function() {
  var weatherAPI = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather';
  var data = {
    q : "Portland,OR",
    units : "metric"
  };
  function showWeather(weatherReport) {
    $('#temperature').get();
    $("weatherReport.main.temp").text();
  };
});
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>What's the Weather Like?</title>
  <script src="jquery.js"></script>
  <script src="weather.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="main">
    <h1>Current temperature: <span id="temperature"></span>&deg;</h1>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

You're close! You need to select #temperature using $() and then call .text() on the result. Pass the value of weatherReport.main.temp into .text(). You can do it all in one line.

Awesome, was worried that was a little confusingly worded but didn't just want to paste the answer in. Hope that gets you on your way, good luck!

Thank You! it makes complete sense. Was adding weatherReport.main.temp after .text()
