 Lancaster, Ohio XML Feed
« Thread Started on Jun 20, 2005, 9:29pm »

Hi Gary,
I downloaded your template over a year ago but my free host would not allow access to it. I have since upgraded to a pay account so it should work now. I had completely forgot about saving the template until I saw a post I think by Joe Toubes that jarred my memory. :o At the time I was experimenting with xml on my own webpage but was having trouble getting it to work for anything other than IE browser. I seem to recall googling and finding some way to add code to the webpage to trick other browsers into rendering it. But it was way over my head to do it. I was wondering if you have heard about any easy way to code a webpage so browsers other than IE could read it?

Here's a link to my xml data:

Sorry, Mark, I've never heard of a technique to let other browsers see XML data islands. If I do, I'll certainly post it here.

I get a "Page not found" error when I try to load your XML file in the browser (IE).

Thanks Gary,
Not sure what happened other than maybe a failed upload. I'm on a 28K dialup at home. I'm on a different computer at a different location now and it worked when I clicked on the link above using IE.

If I can find that page again about getting xml to work in other browsers I'll post a link to it.

Hmmm??? Both links are still working on my computer here away from home and showing the updated weather condidtions. Wonder if there is a internet problem somewhere. Arggh, same thing happened when I signed up for CWOP. They could not see my page at first. Must be haunted. ;D

Who knows? Could be a danged proxy setting here in the office. While they naturally block sites with "undesireable content", I find there are certain legitimate sites I know are up and running that I can't get to from the office - but without getting the screen telling me its a blocked site - but I can get to them fine at home. In fact, that happens with Crewe, VA's XML data here for some undecipherable reason. I'll try to remember to try it from home tonight.

Mark,
Both XML and the weather page coming in fine here in sunnyside Crewe, VA.

Gary, please take the d2g out of my URL because I can not get there from work either so I purchased crewe-weather.com.

Just a note to say the XML feed has been discontinued and an RSS feed added.

Thanks
