Anyone notice the radar not working today? Not sure if this is a temporary outage or something bigger.

Also having issues with ridgewms.srh.noaa.gov for Level II images. It's been very slow.

It looks like the NWS alerts aren't working.  I get an image error in Chrome on the Daculaweather map: http://www.daculaweather.com/current/misc/google-maps-radar/4_google_radar.php and my own: http://somas.stonybrook.edu/~RTDS/pages/gmapradar.php

Anyone else seeing this problem?  Some of our researchers here have noticed other issues with NOAA/NCAR/NWS data lately not being updated, so hopefully it isn't all connected...

That particular link was an experimental version and has apparently disappeared or changed. The other checkbox (Weather Alerts) still continues to work. I'll look into that and see if I can figure out what changed. I like using the new interactive EDD page, tons of different layers to display.

Steve,

That page doesn't render right in Firefox, runs off the edges of my monitor, scroll bars can't get it back on the screen to see the extreme left and right of the page. :shock: #-o Might need a small tweak. ;)

Works fine on Chrome and FF for me.

Judging from your screen name, however, it might be the OS.  I run Linux at home as well and sometimes certain pages won't render correctly.  FF 23.0.1 runs great on that page under Windows 7.  As well as Chrome 29.

Yes, when I did my initial testing of my new design,  I used IE, Chrome, and Firefox to test with and it was ok. Not to say something hasn't gotten messed up somewhere but...  :-)

I almost commented earlier, Steve, that that's the only page of yours that's wider than your template, but deleted it as superfluous.  It views just fine here in Chrome and FF.  With your dropdown menus you have your entire page width and then some available for the iframe.  I tried several months ago to iframe that page, but gave up because the Saratoga-Wx template I use just doesn't provide enough space to the right of the menubar.  I just put a link on my menu to the NWS page.  I agree it's fun to play with!

The EDD is definitely nice, although it takes the fun out of tweaks you can do the other set of maps :-p

I am having similar problems with the EDD rendering on your site with Chrome.  It is flowing out of your template, but not off the screen--like gwwilk mentioned, it doesn't affect the experience at all. 

Thanks for following up!

Well here's a screen cap from FF22 just taken a few minutes ago, my screen 1152 by 864 32bit High color Windows XP SP3.

The menu spills off the left of my screen, even with the horizontal scroll bar full left as in in the screen cap.

That is correct, the EDD div is 1200px and the container div is 1000px, it is 200px wider than the container... on purpose. I wanted people to have the maximum view (within reason) of the EDD.

Jerry... I just got back from Lincoln last Saturday (17 hour drive straight through to my house!). I was at the SCCA Solo National Championships at the Lincoln Airport (west side).

Looks like I will be switching my site over to the EDD.  ElDoradoWeather's webmaster is sending out cease and desist orders for the Google Maps Radar script.  If you haven't received yours yet, Steve, perhaps you are lucky!

Danny is a man of his word and strong convictions, and I know he'll do what he knows is right.

Danny spends countless hours creating these maps, and if it were me, I would not be happy if someone just took my work. I've had people pilfer ideas from my site without asking (yes, I know who many of you are) and it almost makes me NOT want to post new pages up here because of it.

The EDD is nice in that it plays well in iframes. Whatever size frame you have, it fits to it. Now... the real question is will that page still work the same way once it's not experimental anymore. I guess I need to email Jonathan again and see if he knows.

I definitely understand the work that goes into all web design, and appreciate all of the efforts.  Without the talent of you and Danny and others, it would take much longer to get websites related to weather off of the ground, and the quality wouldn't be what we are seeing today.

That said, I don't think we can operate in a dual environment where some scripts are free and others are not.  Either stop releasing content completely and keep the code to yourself or make EVERYTHING open.

Anyway, enough ranting.  On to the EDD!

Is the Moasic Google Map script available?

I didn't see it on your downloads page.

No...

Not a particularly friendly response...

I went back and read through the rest of the thread and I see that the guy at Eldorado has issues.

Thanks!

There wasn't much to say except no. Danny is NOT sharing his code with anyone.
