i want to learn how to daytrade. maybe take a practice run for a couple of weeks. any good websites?
Have you read John Carter's book yet? Mastering the Trade.
Also read Tom Busby's book, Winning the Day Trading Game.
They'll give you a good primer. Fantastic books to get you started. After that, you'll have a much better sense on what and where to go next.
One option would be to work with a mentor. Todd Mitchell looks interesting at toddmitchell.com for trading.
Though if you go to daytrading, you'll need to practice a lot more than a couple of weeks. Most successful day traders I know practiced at least months before being somewhat successful as there's all sorts of nuances, the shorter the timeframe that you trade in.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Hope that helps!

I don't want to list any "for profit" sites that may be competing with Yahoo.
I like to visit http://winners-and-losers.com/ several times a day in order to get ideas on oversold stocks and stocks that are breaking out.

I would look into the terms "swing trading" as opposed to "day trading".
