Err, because they won't be there when the JavaScript runs?! After preprocessing by Cumulus there will just be the string.

PS: I just noticed that the Rain date/times are a bit iffy, new version on the way...

Hi chaps,

Success! I used Mark's function to show the current month. That's got rid of the old date format appearing. Thanks Mark!

But when I loaded his htm file in Dreamweaver 4 it also highlighted the same section as containing a syntax error. Maybe it's how I have my DW Validation settings as I currently get loads of warnings and errors when validating with XHTML 1.0 Transitional checked. Is that normal?

I would still prefer to use my design for date layout but I'm grateful to both of you for your help. Thanks. :clap:

Updated zip attached to previous message.

Your validation fails Ray because it IS invalid until Cumulus has processed it - you need to validate the "tmp" file, or the final file on your web site.

D'oh

I shouldn't try to concentrate on more than one thing at once!

Mark,

I copied monthlyrecord.htm from my server to my PC and validated it. I still get lots of errors. Here's a couple:-

The attribute: onclick does not conform to upper/lower case requirements.[XHTML 1.0 Transitional]

The tag:"input" is not allowed within: "input" It is only allowed within: a, abbr, acronym, address, applet, b, bdo, big, blockquote, body, caption, center, cite, code, dd, del, dfn, div, dt, em, fields. . ..[XHTML 1.0 Transitional]

Nesting error, "input" should be closed before closing "div"[XHTML 1.0 Transitional]

I'm calling it a day now. I'll be back tomorrow for more fun.

Ray, this version validates OK on w3c for me.

Interesting Mark. It returns 66 errors for my equivalent.

http://www.cheadlehulmeweather.co.uk/monthlyrecord.htm

That is baffling.

I've managed to get a clean compile in DW4. The lines it was objecting to were these:-

Not Accepted
<input type="button" value="Jan" onClick="changeData(0)">

Accepted
<input type="button" value="Jan" onclick="changeData(0)"></input>

Didn't like a capiltalised C in onClick and required a closing tag. Weird eh?

You can self close the input tag <input .... />

RayProudfoot · **Posted:** Thu Apr 12, 2012 10:01 pm

So you can! Ta!

Here is a slight variation on Steve's default page. I've just amended the date/time format slightly, and made it so that the current month is always displayed on entering the page.

You can view my data here: http://weather.wilmslowastro.com/monthlyrecord.htm

Note the navigation menu is wrong for my site (it is the default) and I had to zip the file below as you cannot attach html or txt files.

EDIT: File removed see later posts for an updated version

How did you edit to show current month always displayed?

Code:

....

function init() {
    var d = new Date();
    changeData(d.getMonth());
}
</script>    
<link href="weatherstyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body onload="init();">

....

First of all, Steve you did awesome thing with latest beta! :clap:

I've been thinking, is there a way, with this new recent history webtags, to get a data for specific hour of the day

If someone doesnt understand, lets say time is 7:30AM and I want to get temperatures at
0AM
1AM
2AM ... etc ? :?:

I can't think of a way with the existing web tag parameters, as they are relative to the current time, but it would be easy enough to add another parameter for the 'absolute' hour of the day. What would you expect it to do if the hour hasn't arrived yet today? e.g. if it's 7.30 am and you ask for 8 am?

I thought javascript is on the client side so if somebody from another timezone visits the page about midnight to a new month he/or she can see another month as it's at the actual weatherstation ? (I know this is a rare situation)
