Topic: ajax-dashboard.php source doesn't match displayed values

[W3DRM]

I'm at a loss to explain what I am seeing on my website. The displayed website shows Today's rainfall at "0.12" and Yesterday's rainfall at "0.12". However, when I view the source code in my browser Today's rainfall shows "0.00" and Yesterday's rainfall shows "0.12". We actually had 0.12 inches of rain yesterday. Why then, does Today's rainfall show as also being 0.12 inches?

I've attached the "view source" results and the actual code for that section of the template.

Recent values are loaded from a realtime file by your Ajax script.
Check the realtime file for your weatherprogram. Maybe that file is not uploaded or the contents is old.

The HTML source reflects the values from your normal upload but that value is replaced by the Ajax script.

Thanks Wim - that was the problem. For some reason I wasn't getting good uploads. I restarted everything and it now looks good. Thanks for the quick response. I had forgotten about the ajax script refresh that takes place. That's what happens when the code runs great for a long time and then I forget how things really work...
