OK, I've now a bit of a play with it and got myself tied up a few times, perhaps why code cutting was not my field, on that, yes I go back to IBM mainframes circa 1959 with golf ball terminals, not even vdu or terminals, 1403 printers, the tape drives with vacuum tensioners and punch card programs, if you had it in for the programmer their job stayed on top of the stack. I my first go at operations in the early 80s for a little over a year, with equipment manufactured the year I was born. My last longer fling started in 1996, yet another career change.
Some observations along the way that might help other people starting to have a go. Your comment about the Web Developer tools, under the Tools menu in FireFox was quite useful. Later on I did find when not looking for errors but looking for which css statement was in play that the Inspect tool was really handy especially when working with mulitple css rules/styles from different sheets, it gives a clear indication of which one to look at, with line numbers.
I have changed some things about the layout, http://sassafras.id.au/projects/weather ... ords.shtml not the actual tables, yet, though I will fix my little confusion about the which column was which in the Pressure criterion, but on both my monitors the colours are hard to discriminate, I may change the text colour or style to make it easier to see. I suspect if I find it hard to see the colours others might too. I decided not to make the text or layout any smaller, most screens are on the larger side these days. I am using a 19 inch 4:3 screen as my smaller screen, at 1024 x 768. My larger screen is 21 inch 16:9. That is the reason I have a couple of different css pages, a set just for the daily records page to try and reach a happy medium on layout. I will go through and rationalise the rest, creating some unique div or style names etc so I can reduce the number of sheets. Now that I know how I will use css for the text in my plant pages, there is going to be a major revision there soon to incorporate shtml (SSI) and tidy up various other issues from the earlier years, I've done all the other pages on that part of my site. I find SSI simpler for me to manage than content management systems etc. Before that I will make the rest of the weather pages consistent with my new weather index page
I will have a go at making the colour-key gif a bit clearer or just bigger, I find it hard to see on either screen, maybe I just need better glasses.
Thanks very much for what you have done and taught. https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/posting.php ... =18&t=8690#
