Cumulus Support

Hello

Quite a few years ago, my friend came up with his interpretation of overlaying my weather on my webcam script, it used to work very well, but as browsers and cameras have come a long way since, it is getting tired and a bit laggy for liking.

Old page: http://www.warehamwx.co.uk/cumulus/webcam.htm

I decided to just make a simple page, showing my camera, and updating (with no lag) every second. It is much more efficient, and I made it so that I could resize the 640 x 480 image, to a slightly bigger size. I'm really happy that there's no delays, or lag when trying to go through the menus, etc.

New page: http://www.warehamwx.co.uk/cumulus/refresh.htm

However, I now miss my simple weather overlay, but I don't know how to incorporate it with the simple webcam page. I have seen on here, that there is some kind of overlay script, but it looks like it uses data/info from Weather Display.
I was wondering if anybody knew a simple way that I could get my weather info back, or whether the overlay I use on the old camera could be made use of on the new one?

If anybody could help, i'd be very grateful!

Best regards.

Something like...? Then you need to refresh it in a script.

Nailed it! Thank you so much Mark, that is great.
I've added a reload function for the overlay, so that is updating too. Perfect!
