Vern,
You should upload ajaxgizmo.js again to your website … the copy there seems to be incomplete, so the pages (other than the home page which doesn’t use it) aren’t showing the rotating conditions display near the top-right of the page.
Best regards,
Ken
Great looks good
Ok, next.
As you don’t have WD Live at the moment then we’ll take that off the menu, so to speak.
Look for this code:
Here’s the last two for you:
Change this:
<item caption="Nearby Buoys" link="wxbuoys.php"/> </item></blockquote>To this:
<!–
<item caption="Nearby Buoys" link="wxbuoys.php"/> </item>→
And this lot:
</item></blockquote>To this:
</item></blockquote>Save & upload. That’s you done with the menus for now.
:oops: Its gone wrong…
It says:xml error missmatched tag line 39
It’s alright, try this complete code.
Just select the whole document and replace is with this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<!-- menu control file for flyout-menu.php program -->
<!-- Ken True - available at http://saratoga-weather.org/scripts-CSSmenu.php -->
<!-- NOTE: this file must be correct XML with all tag items properly closed -->
<!-- Structure of file is
<menu>
<item caption="Main 1" link="main1.php" title="topmost menu item"/>
<item caption="Main 2" title="Main menu number 2">
<item caption="Drop down 1" link="dropdown1.php"/>
<item caption="Drop down 2" link="dropdown2.php">

<item caption"Fourth Level Flyout 3" link"level4c.php"/>
</item>
</item>
<item caption="Drop down 3" link="dropdown3.php"/>
</item>
</menu>
Failure to follow this structure or nest more than 4 sublevels
may result in unexpected (and incorrect) results .. the top/sub1/sub2/sub3 four
level menu should allow for highly complex websites.
test your menu XML at http://validator.w3.org/ if you're having a problem. The proper
syntax will be checked and (hopefully) erata spotted for you.

I know, that one didn’t work either, I just tried it on my own site.
Here’s the fix:

Yes well done martin that got it sorted do I need to do the other adjustments bouy etc…
Vernon
I think that’ll do for tonight.
Tomorrow night we’ll get the Advisories working but you’ll need to download a .zip file for this.
If you want to download it now then the link is here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex18/rssdisplaybox/rssdisplaybox.zip
The full instructions are here: Dynamic Drive DHTML Scripts- RSS Display Boxes
But I’ve already set it up so I can save you some time. 
Once you’ve downloaded it, open the .zip and extract all the files to a new folder in your website directory (on your PC for now) and call the new folder “RSS”.
Then we’ll run through setting that up tomorrow.
Great Martin thanks very much for all your help its been invaluable to me if I could buy you a beer or dram I would,
Thanks again
Vern…
good work guys !
Awesome! I love it when folks like Martin pitch in and work through the issues to help others out.
Great job!
:salute: :hello1: :angel5: =D> =D> =D>
Best regards,
Ken
Thanks guys.
Now then Vern, are you ready for tonight’s installment?
If you’ve downloaded the .zip above into one folder called “RSS” then the next stage is actually an easy one.
In the folder called “rssbox”, open the file called “main.php” in your text editor and go down the page until you see these lines:
//Specify list of RSS URLs $rsslist=array( "bbc" => "http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss.xml" //"nytimes" => "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml", //"dynamicdrive" => "http://www.dynamicdrive.com/export.php?type=new" //no trailing comma after last RSS URL!! );
Select them all and replace them with this:
//Specify list of RSS URLs $rsslist=array( "metoffice" => "http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/xml/warnings_rss.xml" //"bbc" => "http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss.xml" //"nytimes" => "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml", //"dynamicdrive" => "http://www.dynamicdrive.com/export.php?type=new" //no trailing comma after last RSS URL!! );
Now save “main.php” and upload the whole RSS folder to your website.
Once that’s finished, open your “wxadvisory.php” file.
Select all the text in the file and replace it with this text:
