A while back, CSS-Tricks Tsar Chris Coyier and I created a Weather Switcher script that connected to Yahoo!'s weather API, downloaded an XML file containing weather information for a specified zip code, and modified the website's theme based on the weather.
Yahoo! recently made an update to their response script which blew up my script. I've updated the script and now everything is working as it should.

CSS animations are right up there with sliced bread. CSS animations are efficient because they can be hardware accelerated, they require no JavaScript overhead, and they are composed of very little CSS code. Quite often we add CSS transforms to elements via CSS during...
Chances are that any Web designers using our Ghostlab browser testing app, which allows seamless testing across all devices simultaneously, will have worked with responsive design in some shape or form. And as today's websites and devices become ever more varied, a plethora of responsive images...
Hey everyone! Before we get started, I just want to say it's damn hard to pick this few favorites on CodePen. Not because, as a co-founder of CodePen, I feel like a dad picking which kid he likes best (RUDE). But because there is just so...
If you haven't heard of Woot.com, you've been living under a rock. For those who have been under the proverbial rock, here's the plot: Every day, Woot sells one product. Once the item is sold out, no more items are available for purchase. You don't know how many...
I am having a problem trying to find out how to extract the degrees (e.g 85F) to display it along with the data you have provided. New to this, so any help would be most appreciated.
I’ve put your weatherswitcher to work on my weather station site. The panoramic picture banner of the lake changes according to how the weather is doing. I love it. Thanks a bunch. http://stillwaterweather.com
I’ve integrated the script pretty easy (despite I’m a nob). How can i know for sure day and night right codes for 27 mostly cloudy (night), 28 mostly cloudy (day), 29 partly cloudy (night) and 30 partly cloudy (day)? How can i declare this in according css? Thanks in advance!
hey, i was inspired by your other post, and extended it a little showing the users weather, instead of your own, take a look: http://www.reigndesign.com/blog/make-your-blog-weather-interactive-in-6-easy-steps/. thanks for the post in the first place :)
Unfortunatetly, in recent days weatherswiticher has not been automatically changing the banner header picture to corresopond to the lastest change in weather conditions. I don’t know what’s wrong. It still reports weather condition changes though. Script in use at http://stillwaterweather.com
@Danny: All is well now with the weather switcher at my site. I ran my css file thru a validator and got it fixed that way. As a result, the weather switcher works in any browser, too, that I have tried. I haven’t tried it in Oprah, though.
How could I mod this to include the time. So I could change the image according to weather AND time of day?
Thanks!
