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.

How is it possible that JavaScript-based animation has secretly always been as fast — or faster — than CSS transitions? And, how is it possible that Adobe and Google consistently release media-rich mobile sites that rival the performance of native apps? This article serves as a point-by-point...
My team mate Edna Piranha is not only an awesome hacker; she's also a fantastic philosopher! Communication and online interactions is a subject that has kept her mind busy for a long time, and it has also resulted in a bunch of interesting experimental projects...
Last week I released a snippet of code for MooTools that allowed you to fade in and out a "to the top" link on any page. Here's how to implement that functionality using jQuery. The XHTML A simple link. The CSS A little CSS for position and style. The jQuery...
CSS class name structure and consistency is really important; some developers camelcase classnames, others use dashes, and others use underscores. One thing I've learned when toying around by HTML and CSS class names is that you can actually use unicode symbols and icons as classnames.
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!
