I Would like to make my life easier as i learn more about coding in my web design class i am learning that the shorter or less the code the better and more readable it is.

in my Temp, wind direction and wind force and pressure javascript i have a loooong list of codes is there ways to shorten this? it is becomming to much on the code side..

they are

TEMP__________________________________________________
<script type="text/javascript">
var temp = "<#temptrend>";
if (temp==0){var imagen = "steady.png";}
if (temp>0){var imagen = "rising.png";}
if (temp<0){var imagen = "falling.png";}
document.write('<img src="images/'+imagen+'"/>');
</script>
______________________________________________________

Wind Direction__________________________________________
<script type="text/javascript">
var wind ="<#wdir>";
if (wind=="E"){var imagen = "E.png";}
if (wind=="ENE"){var imagen = "ENE.png";}
if (wind=="ESE"){var imagen = "ESE.png";}
if (wind=="N"){var imagen = "N.png";}
if (wind=="NE"){var imagen = "NE.png";}
if (wind=="NNE"){var imagen = "NNE.png";}
if (wind=="NNW"){var imagen = "NNW.png";}
if (wind=="NW"){var imagen = "NW.png";}
if (wind=="S"){var imagen = "S.png";}
if (wind=="SE"){var imagen = "SE.png";}
if (wind=="SSE"){var imagen = "SSE.png";}
if (wind=="SSW"){var imagen = "SSW.png";}
if (wind=="SW"){var imagen = "SW.png";}
if (wind=="W"){var imagen = "W.png";}
if (wind=="WNW"){var imagen = "WNW.png";}
if (wind=="WSW"){var imagen = "WSW.png";}
if (wind=="---"){var imagen = "Calm.png";}
document.write('<img src="images/'+imagen+'"/>');
</script>
________________________________________________________

Pressure is like temp

Forces __________________________________________________
<script type="text/javascript">
var windscale ="<#beaufort>";
if (windscale=="F0") {var imagen = "F0.jpg";}
if (windscale=="F1") {var imagen = "F1.jpg";}
if (windscale=="F2") {var imagen = "F2.jpg";}
if (windscale=="F3") {var imagen = "F3.jpg";}
if (windscale=="F4") {var imagen = "F4.jpg";}
if (windscale=="F5") {var imagen = "F5.jpg";}
if (windscale=="F6") {var imagen = "F6.jpg";}
if (windscale=="F7") {var imagen = "F7.jpg";}
if (windscale=="F8") {var imagen = "F8.jpg";}
if (windscale=="F9") {var imagen = "F9.jpg";}
if (windscale=="F10") {var imagen = "F10.jpg";}
if (windscale=="F11") {var imagen = "F11.jpg";}
if (windscale=="F12") {var imagen = "F12.jpg";}
document.write('<img src="images/'+imagen+'"/>');
</script>

So as you can see the script code is quiet long and annoying to me unless i need this to work i want it shorter but the problem is i dont know how... we are not covering JavaScript until stage 2

As you are using <#webtags> and not eg. building the page from realtime.txt, everything except the temp trend can be html.

eg. for wind

Code: Select all

<img src="images/<#wdir>.png" alt="Wind Direction <#wdir>" title="Wind Direction <#wdir>" />

NB: You would need to rename your Calm.png to ---.png

PS. When you DO start JS or PHP coding, thousands of lines are not uncommon

haha yes i have very much noticed that, well at least its working i guess.

Im hopefully going to make my website more, Professional with the home page only loading minor amounts of content, as we learnt in call the other day the home page should never be cluttered and also should have only Necessary content on it, i guess i just got excited and added heaps of things i did not need as other pages provide the exact same information.

I am going to change my layout as shown in the image few posts up from here but i tried it today to position a simple div (float left) and another next to it (float right) not exceeding the pages width and they still go under each other :/
