Webparser Dump Doesn't Seem To Contain All The Info

[Licoricemint]

Hi,

I am trying to implement the high and low temperature for the day onto my desktop. Below is a small screenshot of the web-site I would like to get the info from.

Here are the relevant lines from the webparser dump.

<span class="today" title="Today's weather summary for <%= station.name %>">Today<span>
<div>High -- <span class="split">|</span> Low -- &deg;F</div>
<div>--% Chance of Precip.</div>

As you can see, the web-site displays numbers while the webparser dump doesn't. I've gone over the entire webparser dump and I'm pretty sure these are the relevant lines. I have also searched through the webparser dump specifically for those numbers and they don't show up anywhere. Is there a way I can get the high and low temperature numbers?

Best Regards,

If the temperatures are not in the dump, then you will not be able to get them using that site. The site is probably using a server-side script to obtain the current details.

You didn't post the link to the site, but why not use a site that you know provides the data, such as weather.com or yahoo?

Weather.com measure returns details and 5 day forecast; indexes 21 and 22 return Hi/Lo temps for today (you just need to set your Location & Unit variables):

Code: Select all

Hi eclectic-tech,

Thank you for the reply. I will check out weather.com. I like using weather underground because the physical location of the weather station is actually very close to where I live.

Forum member moshi created Sphynx Weather Underground skins, that may help you in creating your skin using that site... his skin has 3 versions: normal, map, and webcam... which is way more than you need
