Yep - looks fine.


Thanks!
Trying to make sure it's compatible with as many browsers as possible
:-)


Tried it with RISC OS browsers - display as per FireFox on the Windows
PC - except that the graphics, which are .bmp files, were missing
(just grey outlines of tiny squares).

Not sure about the other systems reading .bmp files - but if you could
convert them to .gif, .jpg, or .png then they'd definitely be
cross-platform.

I'll take a look at that, thanks.

Works fine in Opera 9.02, IE7 and Firefox 2.0.

There are two (very, very, very minor) errors in your HTML:

or http://tinyurl.com/y3g2rv if the long URL wraps and you can't be
bothered cutting and pasting it

It looks good to me Gareth. What program do you use to get the sunrise
and sunset time, and moon phase? My sunrise/set time calculator is not
as accurate as it might be (+- a few minutes).

I'm using FreeWX.
Find it here.
http://insvr1.midcoas****er.com.au/FreeWX/_sgg/f10000.htm

It's a great program and very easy to configure.


Yes, but Windows only And I don't need a complete package, just
something that will return an accurate sunrise/sunset time, plus (for
the sake of the webcam) when the sun reaches a certain elevation below
the horizon (6 degrees seems to be about right). Moon rise/set times and
phase would also be nice. I write the rest!

Never mind, your site looked fine in Konqueror.

I'm running the program on my wife's machine and viewing it on my
PowerBook :-)
It's the only machine in the house that isn't a laptop and therfore is
ideal for a permanent connection to the weather station.
If I can persuade the wife to use a MacMini then I maybe I can start
using an OS X program. Any thoughts on my options then?
