Bryan, great prog. However having a lot of trouble connecting to server in script.
I notice this is different to that used to get location code:-
Location Code:
http://www.weather.com/outlook/
travel/local/THXX0002
Script:
http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/"
Is there a reason for this or can you suggest a cure?
Thanks

Additional,
If I use a browser to connect to the site in your script I get the following message
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /weather/ on this server".

I don't have any trouble getting this code to work (Bangkok, Thailand). Are you double-clicing on the location to enter the location code?

Yes and the difficulty is with the server connection. Too often I get an error message. Perhaps from my location it takes lnger to connect. Is there a way to change the script to allow for a longer access time?
Thanks
Thanks

Make sure you have downloaded the newest code (10/28) and change the number that appears at the end of line 257 to something greater than 3. This is the nuber of seconds the script will wait for a response from the GET. Hope this helps, if it doesn't I'm at a loss.

When I start up it stays blank for several minutes and then displays a script error. I click continue and sometimes the weather info loads, sometimes it doesn't, and every few minutes I get another script error. Sometimes it actually displays the weather information, most times it doesn't.
FYI: I have a dial-up connection. And I downloaded the object on Oct. 30.
The error I get is:
Object required: 'weatherDoc.documentElement.selectSingleNode(...)'
Line: 121
Code:
(not available)

Bryan,
Interestingly enough, when first loading it works ok and after the next failure if I re- insert the city code 9 times out of ten it will work.
It does not appear to knick in by itself!!

Can't make it work!
It always says:
"Problem communicating with remote server.."
When I try to change the ZIP code it says:
Object required: 'validDoc.documentElement'
Line: 235
Code:
(not available)
No problems with internet connctivity on any other apps, including other DX objects.
Any ideas???

Is it possible to change the frequency that the weather is checked or alternative whether it is possible to configure for a check at either the hour, 15 past, half past etc.
Thanks
Thanks

The weather is usually updated every hour at 53 min into the hour, but is still checked every 10 min. You do not have to change anything in the script to get international cities! Go to http://www.weather.com and type the name of your country in the "local forcast" search. A page will come up listing some cities in your country and there will be a link that will look like 'Country: Canada' or whatever country you searched for. When you click on this link you will be taken to a page that lists many cities in your country. Now click on the city you want weather for. When this is done you will be taken to a page that has this cities current forcast. In the address bar you will see an eight digit code in the URL after /travel/local/ Copy this code into zip code change dialog of the object. I hope this helps in getting this object to work for all the non-US folks! Later!

Great Object... I live in Germany, near Frankfurt and couldn't use it in the beginning... but I found out how to use it in other countries.
FOR ALL NON-US USERS:
for Frankfurt in Germany I use the ZIP-Code GMXX0003.
In common the code is based on three combinations:
[Coutry-Code (2 letters)][XX][City-Code (4 numbers)]
Examples for Country-Codes:
GM = Germany; NL = Netherlands; BE = Belgium; CA = Canada; UK = United Kingdom; FR = France; SP = Spain etc.
For the City-Code you have to find out yourself by trying. I think only the major cities are available.
Have a try.

I had some problems with the Low/High-Temperatures in �C.
When the temperature was "N/A", the conversion to �C run into an error in the GetTemp-Function which resultet in a script error.
I've modified the GetTemp-Function a bit, so the problem has gone.
For all those who use �C you can replace the GetTemp-Function in the script with this one:
Function GetTemp(intemp, disp)
Dim conv
Dim tempTemp
If Object.PersistStorage("temp_mes") = "C" Then
If intemp = "N/A" Then
conv = "N/A"
Else
conv = round((5 / 9) * (intemp - 32))
End If
If disp = True Then
tempTemp = conv & "�C"
Else
tempTemp = conv
End If
Else
If disp = True Then
tempTemp = intemp & "�F"
Else
tempTemp = intemp
End If
End If
GetTemp = tempTemp
Set conv = Nothing
Set tempTemp = Nothing
End Function
Have Fun
