Buoy Page Help!

Hi Ken,
How do I put a class="image_shadow" onto my Mesomap, I'm quite stuck. Also, I'm having trouble changing the units from knots to mph. Currently, I have the words showing in "mph" but the figures are not in mph they are in knots.
Please help,
Thanks
Will
EDIT: I have converted the winds units correctly. Though, I am still stuck on class="image_shadow" to put onto my Mesomap.

Are you trying to put a CSS-based shadow around the imagemap of the buoys?

Correct.

I'm not sure it's entirely feasible due to the way the buoy-data.php generates the HTML for the imagemap+background image.
You can save the CSS generated with buoy-data.php (output in the $BUOY_CSS variable) to a .css file on your website, then change the page including the buoy-data.php script to use that saved CSS instead of doing a <?php print $BUOY_CSS; ?>. That would allow you to experiment easily with the .css file directly.

Well, I just looked through buoy-data.php and changed this:
Code: Select all
$htmlnext ='" usemap="#meso"
alt="Mesomap of nearby weather buoys" style="border: none"/>
To this:
Code: Select all
$htmlnext ='" usemap="#meso"
alt="Mesomap of nearby weather buoys" style="border: none" class="image_shadow"/>
And...it worked!
Thanks for your help!
Will
