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.

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...
In 2001 I had just graduated from a small town high school and headed off to a small town college. I found myself in the quaint computer lab where the substandard computers featured two browsers: Internet Explorer and Mozilla. It was this lab where I fell...
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...
Keeping equal heights between elements within the same container can be hugely important for the sake of a pretty page. Unfortunately sometimes keeping columns the same height can't be done with CSS -- you need a little help from your JavaScript friends. Well...now you're...
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!
