Very informative lightning pg.
I intend to do similar after getting my TOR database pg operational.

The rotating banner is neat. How did you create it?

[DaculaWeather]

Is it my banner you're talking about?

[Anthony]

I'm talking about the rotating banner at the top of your web page.

Oh... I can be a little slow.

Go to http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/fadeinslideshow.htm

I use that script for several things including the maps on the opening page.
I've kinda "themed" the images, I have a set that I will start showing Thanksgiving Day (Christmas) and then the day after Christmas, I'll display Winter images, and it goes on for each season change. All I do is copy and paste the new image location and save the page and new images appear.

The script is VERY simple and all you have to do is add an extra <div id="the_script_name"></div> tag. Yes, it's an empty tag. When the script runs, it places the images into the div.

Very simple but very powerful. If you hover over the rotating maps you'll see the credits to Wunderground and Hamweather which is nice too.

Thanls for the info. Does it use php? If so, I am out of luck. I have never been able to get any php to run on my free hosted GoDaddy account. I renewed my domain yesterday. I might spring for paid hosting after the first of the year.

No PHP, a little javascript is all. You shouldn't have any trouble making it work.

i had to make a ticket with my hosting company the other day to get PHP to work within my html pages. It was fine when run directly but not from within a page.

I've placed throuble tickets in the past with GD concerning php not working. Their responce, it working fine, we can't find any problems. Well, they must have been runnuig it directly also. Because when I would embed the code in a page it wouln't work, not even on a page by it's self. I blame it on the code for the ad banner at the top of each of my web pages. Any way, thanks again for the info on the banner.

Not a problem. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
