Not sure if this is the appropriate place to post script questions, but if not, move it and I'll note appropriately.
Ok, so I have the AJAX stuff up and running. However it works a little different than I expected. I wanted to graft it into an existing format that I've had, it's a table format with both a textual version of the weather and the specific numbers. This is where I found the gotcha.
I wanted to use the temp, for example, in 2 places. However, when I tried to put the span in with the ajaxtemp variable, I found that I couldn't use it more than once. The first time it printed the tempurature as is should have, but the second time it printed nothing. It appears that if you want to have multiple references to the same variable, that you have to modify the .js code to add another core variable. In my case, to prove the above, I added an ajaxtemp1 and then inserted the span code with the updated id and poof, it all worked.
But, the above seems overkill and a PITA just to have the same variable referenced at multiple places in the same web format. So, is there a better/easier way to accomplish what I want to do?
Thanks and let me know,
Alan
