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.

Regardless of your stance on pornography, it would be impossible to deny the massive impact the adult website industry has had on pushing the web forward. From pushing the browser's video limits to pushing ads through WebSocket so ad blockers don't detect them, you have...
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...
I recently received an email from a reader who was really impressed with Block Clickable, a jQuery script that took the link within a list item and made the entire list item clickable. I thought it was a neat script so I...
It's best practice to provide an indicator of some sort when performing an AJAX request or processing that takes place in the background. Since the dawn of AJAX, we've been using colorful spinners and imagery as indicators. While I enjoy those images, I am...
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!
