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.

This is the hardest thing I've ever had to write, much less admit to myself. I've written resignation letters from jobs I've loved, I've ended relationships, I've failed at a host of tasks, and let myself down in my life. All of those feelings were very...
MooTools has always gotten a bit of grief for not inherently using and standardizing namespaced-based JavaScript classes like the Dojo Toolkit does. Many developers create their classes as globals which is generally frowned up. I mostly disagree with that stance, but each to their own. In any event...
It's often interesting to think about where on a given element, whether it be the page, an image, or a static DIV, your users are clicking. With that curiosity in mind, I've created HeatMap: a MooTools class that allows you to detect, load, save, and...
It's something that makes all men live in fear, and are often uncertain of. It's never spoken, but the curiosity is always there. Nine out of ten women agree in the affirmative. Advertisers do their best to make us feel inadequate but...
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!
