Just looked at it for the first time - immediate reaction - Urghhh! Sorry - get RID of the moon phase and wind speed/direction from the top half (and do you REALLY need to tell people what the gauges are????)

Also - why have TWO sets of the same gauges on the page? Just in case you miss it in the first place?

As has been said before - you don;t want people having to scroll down to see the pertinent information which, at present, you HAVE to do on your page.

I am going through the same re-design but keeping the information I want displayed on top (I still have to move the text stating what the site is about) - have a look here http://mtb-images.dyndns.org:1088/weather/index.php

(BTW note that I am using PHP files - your orginal quesiton about what files Cumulus can generate - add PHP to the list - the template files are copied as *.php files which allows me to use includes to ensure menus, footers, headers etc are consistent across every page).

Hey

I like your opinion there i was thinking of removing the real time wind data but keeping the wind gauges as many of my friends and my teacher liked that, the moon phase also i love so its staying put,

I know nothing at all about php so im not going to try that (yet)

i still dont understand why on my graphs page the thumbnails wont load?

I wasn't saying get rid of the moon and gauges - just DON'T put them right at the top - if you must have a scrollable page, put them down the bottom - after all, you are presenting weather data, not astronomical data.

And not sure what you mean by 'thumnails won;t load' - they are all loading fine for me. Do a force refresh of the web page (CTRL-F5 if you are using any flavour of IE)

Well this is an old internet saying but 'check your settings' because it is certainly changing for me. (IE8)

Just to double check I tried another PC in the house and it is able to click on, change, and show all the different graphs - they are slow to load but they arfe definately loading OK. (The one I was just looking at, to confirm, was temppm.png 24631 bytes - properties give file name as temppm.png?1291192246130 if this helps you track anything down)

Safari says:

trends.htm: line30 - Unmatched </script> encountered. Ignoring tag.
trends.htm: line106 - Unmatched </p> encountered. Converting </p> into <p></p>.
trends.htm: line42 - ReferenceError: Can't find variable: MM_preloadImages

So you need to fix your html as well as your javascript ;)

The graphs do actually display in FF, but on the Graphs button space on your navigation menu!

The line 106 error isn't one - the matching <p> is at line 101 - so this one should be OK.

The </script> at line 32 is right though - that needs to be removed.

The line 42 problem - not 100% sure about this one.

Fix the </script> issue (remove that line) and try it again.

IE will quite often run a script file even with these errors whereas all the other browsers won't (one of their shouting points that they are 'strict' - forgetting the fact that they often completely break sites that do have mistakes/errors in them...
