I'm with infinology.com. I'm grandfathered in a sweet package I got years ago so I won't let it go just for the weather. Would have been sweet to add to my forum. I've been thru 2 other providers and this one is truly the best for what I need.

I get 100gigs of bandwidth a month and 35gigs of server space and I get audio and video streaming all for about $210 a year. They don't offer anything close now. I think the only down side is that I don't get a static IP and I think I'm on virtual drives but they do offer them in other packages.

If you are talking about so it takes on your forum/page color all you need to do is remove this line <link href="weather_style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> from the weather.asp or weather_c.asp script and it will not use the CSS. You can also setup a table with the correct colors that you want in the script it will need to be done in the html part of the weather.asp or weather_c.asp in the area that the <link href="weather_style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> line was. If you know html it will be easy to do that. Just watch the size you set the tables to because the weather info will be pulled in at a set size and may be hard to read if the table is set to small.

If you want to use your CSS just change the <link href="weather_style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> to link to your sheet.

FYI,
The weather info without the CSS will be the default white color from the source. If the CSS sheet is removed then everything other that the info will pickup the forum colors.

Willeig--Nice lil mod.

I'm having a slight formatting issue though. The XML parser is returning a random < td > tag as the first output from the Lycos XML feed.

<td width="366" valign=top>


Any ideas?

Hummm, that is odd. Is this from Lycos when someone checks the weather or is it on your page all the time?

It's only when there's a return feed from Lycos that the Parser renders.

EDIT: Misunderstood yer question and replied wrong--correct reply above ^^

Willieg, I don't have it up right now--it was totally screwing with my layout so I took it down. I have it up on an internal dev box atm. I'll see if I can put the page up for you to look at it elsewhere tomorrow AM.

I checked the output at my site to see what the code was that was returned when you check the weather and here is a clip of that code:
<html>
<link href="weather_style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<body>

<H3>Your Local Weather</H3>
<FORM>
City/Zip <INPUT size="15" name="URL" value="27874">
<INPUT type="Submit" value="Get Weather">
</FORM>
<BR>



<HR>
<b>Weather | 27874</b><br>
<td width="366" valign=top>
<table cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 border=0 width="100%" bgcolor="#2952A5">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><font face="Verdana,Sans-serif" color="#FFFFFF" size="1"><b>Current Conditions</b></font></td>

As you can see the code line <td width="366" valign=top> is very near the start so check your code before that line to see if you have a bit of cobe that has not been closed or is out of place. Sometimes if you leave code open or entered wrong it will show up on the html doc in your browser. This is just a thought until I see the real thing.

Willieg--That's precisely the code I'm talking about--that <td width="366" valign="top">

There's no tag to close that <td> nor a <table><tr> tag to wrap around it. It's an artifact from the XML parser as near as I can see. The result is that it throws the rest of my page completely out of wack (I'm using a custom index page). Even using the double-embedded structure you've set up with the "inc_weatherBan.asp" calling "weather.asp", I still get a really wacked out layout. I see the same problem on your site as the "Weather | <zipcode>" is printed to the left of the weather report as opposed to above it. :(

I'll get up a demo today for you to look at, but it looks like you're getting the same thing I am.

What browser are you using? I don't see what you are talking about. I just checked it with Firefox and IE and it looks ok there. to.

Willieg,

I'm using IE6 and MyIE2. That random <td> tag is definately coming from your code/XML results from lycos. All of my code is closed off appropriately, BUT since I'm trying to embed the weather table in another table, that random TD tag is really throwing me for a loop.

I'm wondering if Lycos threw that in there deliberately to screw up formatting. I'll try formatting text around it as well, but as near as I can tell... that <td> tag is never closed either...

That is odd it is closed when I run the script both here as admin and at another workstation running win2000 where I work signed in as a guest.
