Yes, see the 'format' parameter in the help for the web tags.

question 2 is i can get all my tags to auto refresh using the <span id tag but cant seem to get the since midnight and last 24hrs.

I'm not familiar with this technique; hopefully someone else can help.

You don't give a link to your site nor tell us whose flavour of AJAX code you are using !

If the AJAX code is parsing realtime.txt then there are no entries for (rain) since midnight, or (rain) last 24.

However if your station 'day' begins midnight, then there is rain today entry (#10 or array[9])

sorry about this but would the code look something like this
<#LastRainTipISO>format="dd/mmm/yy">
a bit confused many thanks again

[steve]

<#LastRainTipISO>format="dd/mmm/yy">

<#LastRainTipISO format="dd/mmm/yy"> (note the syntax) would give you (e.g.) 31/Jan/12

If you want "13:45 on 21 Jan" you need

<#LastRainTipISO format="hh:mm 'on' dd mmm">

or

<#LastRainTipISO format="hh:mm 'on' d mmm">

if you don't want a leading zero on single-digit days.

hi steve thanks.
got one small issue it seems to be putting a slightly bigger background colour on the display for the date.
www.dazmather.co.uk

<tr class="td_rainfall_data">
<td>Rainfall&nbsp;Last Hour</td>
<td><span id="rhour"></span>&nbsp;<#rainunit></td>
<td>Last rainfall</td>
<td><#LastRainTipISO format="hh:mm 'on' dd mmmm"><td>
</tr>
thanks again Darron

[steve]

There's an error in your html:

<td><#LastRainTipISO format="hh:mm 'on' dd mmmm"><td>

should be

<td><#LastRainTipISO format="hh:mm 'on' dd mmmm"></td>
