Having had time to play around with Cumulus for a couple of days now I have found a couple of things that do not make sense to me - not hard I know...
You will have to excuse me if I am missing something fundamental here as it could be in my ignorance I have missed something fundamental...
1. <#location> Even if the first letter of my location is Capitalized it is always displayed in lower case when I generate my webpages
2. The first letter in each & every word after <#location> is also displayed in lower case despite them also being in Capitals
3. If I set Update Interval to 1 minute it is displayed as 1 minutes and not 1 minute - petty I know but any feedback is good feedback right?
4. There appears to be an error in the gauges.htm & gaugesT.htm where Front Page will generate a script error (means nothing to me) but it is displayed correctly in the browser. I think I saw something else in the forum about this from Beteljuice while searching. Must go and have another look...
5. On the CumulusRealTime.swf Shockwave/Flash thingy the text description 'Real time wind data' is left justified and on my webpage at least would be better if it were center aligned.
It would also be nice to get the date/time for the flash plug-in adjacent to the description...again real petty but it would be easier on the eye for me anyway...I am guessing I can't alter this myself can I? I do have CS3 Master here somewhere...
Reading the above sounds as if I am being critical but i am not...honest...
Thanks for listening...again!
Kind regards,

Hard to do anything about without overly complex HTML. A bit of javascript would do it.3. If I set Update Interval to 1 minute it is displayed as 1 minutes and not 1 minute - petty I know but any feedback is good feedback right?
Not that I would trust anything that Front Page said, but it's probably the code for embedding the flash. It's not strictly 'proper', but I don't believe there are any better ways of doing it that will work in all browsers.4.

Both of these are built in to the Flex/Flash. I don't have the development environment installed for those now, and I don't really plan to do any more with it anyway. It was just an experiment that I didn't get very far with. Anything like this I do in future I'll be doing in Silverlight, since Microsoft have been so nice to me5.

Found it under h1. Thanks.steve wrote:It's in the CSS. Look for "text-transform: lowercase;"
I never noticed where h2 appeared on the webpages but I do seem to be learning quickly...
Something for another day when I am more accomplished then...steve wrote:Hard to do anything about without overly complex HTML. A bit of javascript would do it.
No worries...I did find that other post from Beteljuice but that referred to some of the lines not finishing with ; but all of mine were correct. The more I use Front Page the less I like it...steve wrote:Not that I would trust anything that Front Page said, but it's probably the code for embedding the flash.

At least Microsoft are nice to somebody! No worries...as I said it was petty anyway. Can't be bad if all I can find to question are as trivial as this!steve wrote:Both of these are built in to the Flex/Flash.

BTW I tried the <#humidx> but it doesn't seem to return a result. Not sure if I have the syntax correct or whether I have missed something else here...
Thanks & kind regards,

Once again you are correct and I am stupid...steve wrote:I'd expect that. But does <#humidex> work?GlynH wrote:BTW I tried the <#humidx> but it doesn't seem to return a result.

Yup...<#humidex> works...
I blame the onset of dyslexia myself...
I really need to slow down a bit...I am trying to run before I can walk...
I have just turned the aerial installers away so the sensor array will have to stay on the pole in the back garden until Monday when hopefully they will return with the correct bits
I even took down pictures of the sensor array, scanner antenna and the physical mounting hardware on Thursday so that they knew exactly what was needed...
Remind me again why I usually install kit myself?
Thanks and kind regards,
