Hi Beteljuice,

and now I need to ask for permission....

May I please add my airfield page to my website, as an include, and publish it.
May I alter the styling code ( a little ) to match the fonts and size for continuity.
May I alter the code slightly to validate the main page only.

Cheers
Jenny

[beteljuice]

But of course

[JennyLeez]

Thank you beteljuice.

Now if I may annoy you one more time, ( for now anyways... lol ) I am not sure what to do with 1 error please.
I managed to fix the rest but this one is a bit beyond me and of course I dont want to muck anything up

It's not an error as such.

Allowtransparency (IFrame) is specific to IE but inferred to others. It's something that the validators never really worked out how to handle and didnt bother because they all thought IFrames would become redundant with CSS and ajax.

If the error really annoys you, you will have to make a browser specific IF / ELSE statement.
Identical except for the AllowTransparency bit.

See ... http://www.codefap.com/2013/05/there-is ... validator/

Done and thank you

@ all who have lifted the scripts - spotted a new oops !

In the code for the gauges page approx. line #400

Code: Select all

// show now DIRECTION


 		if(wind_kts >= 0.5) { 
		// populate direction nix tubes
// 24 deg Mag offset
nowMag = val2 - 24;

CHANGE to

Code: Select all

// show now DIRECTION


 		if(wind_kts >= 0.5) { 
		// populate direction nix tubes
// get Mag offset
nowMag = val2 - mag_deviation;

Thanks beteljuice, done.

I am just doing credits.
beteljuice would you please check the top of the js page and see what you reckon.
That tag to Pinto's website no longer exists plus maybe this would be the next version modified by yourself in 2013.

I am asking as I wish to add the tributes to the bottom of my page please.

Thanks
Cheers
Jenny

Here's a link for all the other nosey parkers like myself

Well done Jenny, that's great work and it looks fab!
Little ol Wairoa looks to have one of the best weather station sites in the world

It is OLD ....

I suddenly had a thought that there may be conflicts with (your) saratoga template, but I see you've managed to avoid that

Really ALL the variables and the functions need renaming

The variable wind routine could be rewritten with the 'new' Cumulus realtime value, then it would show immediately instead of waiting several cycles.

Pinto created the original ajax routine, so leave his name but no link if no longer valid. (No further info in his profile here)

A suggestion ... move your runway arrow out to 358 px left, then it will center up nicely when the wind's in the right direction.

You may also want to change the rose 'title' to MAGNETIC bearings (2014 21.1 E) - the month doesn't mean a lot the year is more important, and why not colour in the river

Yes my main weather site is non saratoga just basic htm with pinched scripts all through it

Why, thats what gives this script character

and why not colour in the river

I am not very good at painting
Thanks beteljuice.

[ace2]

Colour added to the River and Race Course as instructed

Look harder ace2, cant you see the whitebait running and the whitebaiters lining the river banks.
White bait season started 15th August and lasts for 15 weeks.
Not sure if you have these up there?

Cheers

[ace2]

Not really.

If I see some bigger type fish, I might chuck a line in!

Yet another unexpected error - sorry to the guys who lifted the code ..
in the ...Dashboard.ajax.js approx. line 2012

Code: Select all

// varToggle(); // free run a 'blink' mechanism

// function to blink varWindAdvisory and gustAdvisory if populated (both elements MUST exist)
toggleOn = false;
checkToggle = document.getElementById('varWindAdvisory'); // get one of the advisories
function varToggle() {
// toggleOn = true;
	if(checkToggle && checkToggle.style.display == 'none') { // definately got an 'off' state
		set_ajax_uom("varWindAdvisory", true);
		set_ajax_uom("gustAdvisory", false);
	}else{ // might be 'on' or element not found ( set_ajax_uom() does own checks)
		set_ajax_uom("varWindAdvisory", false);
		set_ajax_uom("gustAdvisory", true);
	}
//	switchVarArrowTimer = setTimeout("varToggle()", 1000);

} // END function varToggle()

The checkToggle var is in the wrong place and the alternating wind advisories can behave in unexpected and incomplete ways - here's the correct and neatened up code:

Code: Select all

// function to blink varWindAdvisory and gustAdvisory if populated (both elements MUST exist)
function varToggle() {
	checkToggle = document.getElementById('varWindAdvisory'); // get one of the advisories
	if(checkToggle && checkToggle.style.display == 'none') { // definately got an 'off' state
		set_ajax_uom("varWindAdvisory", true);
		set_ajax_uom("gustAdvisory", false);
	}else{ // might be 'on' or element not found ( set_ajax_uom() does own checks)
		set_ajax_uom("varWindAdvisory", false);
		set_ajax_uom("gustAdvisory", true);
	}
} // END function varToggle()

Took me quite a while to work out the problem ... I'm getting too old for this.
