Hi,

Thanks Jerry for this page.  Looks good but, there is a but, for my layout.  See here http://www.dwayneyamato.com/wx/wxusalerts.php. How can I make it fit into my narrow format?

Thanks for any suggestions.

The clickable map has to be this size in order to be clickable.  Otherwise the hyperlinks on the map no longer point to the correct geographic location.  My apologies, but I quite some time ago abandoned any hope of keeping a strict 800px site width.  Hence the workarounds you see in wxusalerts and other overwide pages on on my site as well as the option  for a widescreen presentation.  Ken True, the author of our SaratogaWx templates, uses a dropdown menu system on his SaratogaWx site which displays wider pages without overflow.

Thanks Jerry for the reply and will figure out on putting this page in a wide format and see what happens.  Will keep you posted on this.

Thanks again for this great page.

Today's updated zip, wxusalerts2a.zip, contains six new Legend items I added yesterday for a total of 54.  As more shades appear in the legend I'm finding it more and more difficult to match a legend item to the shade on the map.  Clicking on the map  to see the NWS Office's local legend is the best way I've found to resolve this problem, so I've included this suggestion in the explanatory text.

Hi Jerry,

I got the wide format working for me, there is a couple more of those "buts".  Take a look here http://www.dwayneyamato.com/wx/wxusalerts.php.

I must be kinda brain challenged right now as to your tutorial as to the centering issue.  More guidance as to where to edit for centering.  I did the top.php line addition below the <head> and that did not help yet.

The other "but" is in the header or top is doing something weird because that one line on the top left, should be below the banner line.  Any guidance for this?

Thanks for your support and insight for this project.

Right now I'm getting a 404 'not found' on that link, Stan.

There's an additional Legend item, 'Civil Emergency Message', that's posted in ND this afternoon due to blowing snow.  It's been added to wxusalerts2c.zip

Edit for Stan:  I found your page.  Just put the 'center' style above </head> on the wxusalerts.php like this:
Code: [Select]
<style type="text/css"> div.center {  width:100%;  margin-left: auto;  margin-right: auto; display:block }</style>
</head>
Hopefully this will resolve your header problems.  Then in the 'main-copy' <div>
Code: [Select]
<div id="main-copy" style=" border:inset; width:<?php echo ($_SESSION['CSSwidescreen']==? -806?>px">change it to
Code: [Select]
<div id="main-copy" style=" border:inset;">since you're not using the width selector.  The next <div> with a specified width:806px will then correctly center.

Hi Jerry,

Thank you for the reply and recommendations for those "buts".

The center is solved. "But" the header is still the same.  The "Aloha and Good !    Today is ,  February 02, 2013" and the temperature is supposed to go below the banner.  For some reason it is on the same line as the banner..

Otherwise it is much better centered and all the info is there.  That is the main thing that matters.

I also did a menu change to include the switcher module so people can choose the format they may like instead of what I have going.

Thanks again for all of your support and updates for your scripts.  I am currently using using your wxusaalerts-c version.

Found out why that 404 'not found' that you got.  Forgot about the wx portion.  Will edit that shortly.

Stan, I noticed that your header and subheader are similarly distorted on all pages whenever widescreen is enabled.  This is due to changes you have made in your header.php and possibly your top.php scripts.  Just restore your backup copies that you should have from before you began to modify them and all should be well.  If problems persist at that point modification should be fairly straightforward.  Do you have a 'localhos't server installed where you can test changes?

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for the reply again and for your suggestions. I will take a look at my backups for the header and top scripts and see if there were changes there.  I will have to see if I have a "localhost" server.  If I do then I will have figure out how to use it for testing.  Thanks for that suggestion.

Will keep you posted on any improvements or otherwise..

The Boston NWS Office has added 'Coastal Flood Watch', 'Hurricane Force Wind Watch', and 'Blizzard Watch' to the Legend entries this AM.  Let's hope things don't get that bad there.  The changes are in wxusalerts2e.zip

Your ajaxindicator isn't working for some reason.  Try changing
Code: [Select]
function reloadImage() {
var now = new Date();
if (document.images && (ajaxUpdates < update.maxupdates)) {
document.images.us.src = 'http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/png/US.png?' + now.getTime();
document.images.alaska.src = 'http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/png/ak.png?' + now.getTime();
document.images.hawaii.src = 'http://weather.gov/wwamap/png/hi.png?' + now.getTime();
}
setTimeout('reloadImage()',120000);
}
setTimeout('reloadImage()',120000);
to
Code: [Select]
function reloadImage() {
var now = new Date();
if (document.images) {
document.images.us.src = 'http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/png/US.png?' + now.getTime();
document.images.alaska.src = 'http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/png/ak.png?' + now.getTime();
document.images.hawaii.src = 'http://weather.gov/wwamap/png/hi.png?' + now.getTime();
}
setTimeout('reloadImage()',120000);
}
setTimeout('reloadImage()',120000);
and see what happens.  The reloadImage function won't time out, but it also now isn't dependent upon ajaxUpdates and update.maxupdates which I suspect are the source of your problem.

Your map DOES autoupdate, the page just doesn't show the ajaxindicator.  You will have to troubleshoot that problem or just delete the ajaxindicator by changing
Code: [Select]
    <h4 align="center">Maps update every two minutes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class="ajax" id="ajaxindicator"><?php langtrans('Auto Update Active'); ?>...</span></h4>
to
Code: [Select]
    <h4 align="center">Maps update every two minutes.</h4>

The ajaxindicator IS working on your dashboard, so I'm not sure what's going on with wxusalerts.php.

You're welcome.  Just be sure you've modified the reloadImage() function as I've indicated above because you have no way of restarting the autoupdater after a timeout.
