My attempt at instructions for including the radar plot in the steelseries gauges is attached.

Good luck,

Happy to help. Your page looks nice.

Thanks for the instructions and I have set it up, but its not quite right and I sure what to do to get it right. After adding the radar plot to the webpage it left a space below the last row of gauges (it seems to come from the radar plot, it was fine before adding it) see http://www.localweatherdata.0glo.com/gauges-ss.htm for details and not centred properly. I want the radar plot to be in the middle row of gauges so the wind gauges are together but doing that made it worst as the attachment shows. And a page refresh makes the radar plot disappear. I not sure why.

Matt, although something was really wrong when I tried connecting to your SteelSeries gauge page (ie: 404 Not Found - The requested URL /scripts/steelseries.min.js was not found on this server) I was able to looked at some of the modifications you have made on your page.

Obviously, you have made some modifications to your page since posting the image/link - the pressure and the wind rose (radar) have been moved...

Some errors I noticed:

The path to the gauges cascading style sheet (ie: 'gauges-ss.css') is improperly indicated as:
Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css//gauges-ss.css">
The proper code/path should be:
Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/gauges-ss.css">

Further down, you have improperly used the caption tag - the <caption> tag must be inserted immediately after the <table> tag and not outside the <table> tag as you have done/used!

Matt, with the code presently available on your web site, I cannot re-create the extra spacing you are writing about in your message...

Matt, whenever you are unsure about HTML or CSS code, have a look at the W3Schools web site - I think, for most users, the W3Schools web site should be bookmarked and readily available on the main screen of the browser...

Thanks Ray ( if you don't mind) I am not sure what is happening, I might start do it again. Thanks for alerting me to the css typo. The caption is intended that way, I want it that way and thanks anyway.
That attachment I tried with the gauges but I have reverted to the current which is bad enough. I use w3schools which I read a bit of that.

Matt, I guess you did not understand my statement about the 'caption' tag - it cannot (and should not) be used the way you are doing it - as indicated on the W3Schools web site, the <caption> tag should only be inserted immediately after the <table> tag - this is HTML standard programming code!

There are other HTML tags that can be used instead of the 'caption' tag to produce the same results, such as the '<h1> to <h6>' tags, the '<div>' tag, the '<p>' tag, the '<span>' tag, just to name a few...

Yes I should use <p> ....................</p>. Point taken. Thanks.

Matt,

Change the height and width of the radar plot to match your other gauges, i.e from 301 to 251 and that should eliminate the spacing issue.

... and now you've "lost" your steelseries_min.js !

Looking at the now almost empty page, I would think that most of your format problems were 'simple' html - ie. you lost track of the <td></td> count in your <tr>s in your tables.

If you have a broken / test page you want checking - tell us if you subsequently move or change (or if you fix it !) - otherwise the posts don't make any sense and everyone gets frustrated !

Thanks Kerry, I think I will delete it all and start again some other day so until then don't worry about this page. Thanks

I did the gauges page all over again, so I got the steelseries page working again here: http://www.localweatherdata.0glo.com/gauges-ss.htm.

I have to add the radar again and I hope I get it to work this time.

One minor html error - you have two closing </td> on your navigation 'menu'

Matt, you did not have to delete and re-build your page - all that was needed were a few modification...

Other than the additional closing '</td>' tag (as pointed out by beteljuice), in the line 'For an alternative gauges page click here for the standard Cumulus gauges page' it would be better if the 'target="_blank"' attribute was not used for the link to the 'standard' gauges page.
