Hi Neil

where are the maps coming from (what site?)

Some make it easy, others more difficult, and others expressly forbid you to do it!

[Digital Flight]

any u c what i am trying to do is to have a live page of the uk showing both weather forecast and pressure forecast like you see on the Met office site but I dont know haw to do it

This site here... http://www.meteorologica.info/index.htm has a number of UK maps and details at the end of each page on what HTML you need to include in your page to show the maps

With regard to the UK Met office -- they allow you to link to their site, but it is Crown Copyright and specifically precludes you from including sections of their site in your own.

the maps are the thing that i am looking, 4 but the Pics are just links to there site and are not live from my website page

I'm really not clear what you want then!

Do you want pictures of maps that you can then add your own data to?
OR
Do you want live maps on your site, but the maps and data are from someone else?

if the second option you will probably struggle. Any sites I have seen that offer their data on their maps want you to have some kind of link back to their site as they have done all the donkey work in terms of writing the code to put live data on maps.

With the links I mentioned earlier, you can certainly include their pictures on your site. Example, having this code on your site...

<img border="0" src="http://www.meteorologica.info/FreeImages/skymet_uk.jpeg" width="540" height="540">

You could have them update on your site but their images are only updated every 15 minutes and I doubt anyone sits looking at one page for 15 minutes.

More details please

thanks
