First, I must say I am amazed at your skills and talents! [tup] [cheer]
I spent a good deal of time today looking at various sites using your Steel Gauges. However, I found one minor problem in all of the ones I viewed:
- nowaitweather.com/
- oshlo.net/
- timberlakesutah.com/
- randysweatheronthehill.com/
- weather.hoke.org/
- avon-weather.com/

The ?timer? display 'canvas' is just a wee bit too narrow, maybe only ~10 pixels, at least for the chosen font (which also seems to be a default). The tens digit is being almost completely hidden. The only way I recognized that there was another digit in there was that things didn't change the first two time the timer hit "zero". It wasn't really at "zero", it was at "20" and then "10". :P
I have never ever tried learning javascript; eventual failures, of various degrees,
with Microsoft Basic for the first Macs (that small screen was a real P-i-t-B!)/Pascal/C(
and C++ via Xcode)/PHP/ discouraged me from even looking at it. I must sayjs
has also had a somewhat checkered past, even though that may have been
caused by confusion with Java and it's favor with advertisers. I do have a fair
amount of experience with HTML5 and CSS3 and their predecessors.
My first idea to change the ?timer? display was to look for some CSS that could be used to set the width of this canvas item in EMs. Alas, W3C states that the attributes (width and height) are both required and must be set in non-negative integers (pixels). So much for editing the CSS. ::)
I am now jumping into the ?fire? by assuming the following:
?canvas? has been assigned an ?ID? to make it available to javascript. My solution seems to be to edit the ?width? value when I eventually get around to creating my own weather page.
Is my assumption valid?Or even close?
