Hi,

First of all, thank you for your tool and explanations about this weather thing.


I Really want to use it, but I don't know how. I use Dreamweaver, not Cold fusion. It's possible to work this way?

Now, I have the 29.zip file. Where do I put the files? and then, how do i make the call for the image and data appears in one particlar region of my website?

I have, at least, 7 citys to input in diferent zones, it's that possible??

Sorry all those questions, but I don' t see nothing of this.


Best regards,


Sigla

This is a ColdFusion custom tag, so you will need to be running ColdFusion as your application server for it to work. Dreamweaver is just an editor, it's not going to compile and run code. The custom tag is dynamic in that it is responsible of going to the weather.com's website and getting the updates by itself. It's also responsible for parsing through the XML results that weather.com gives back to us and creating a more friendly output. And yes, you can show the weather for 7 or for 7,000 cities for that matter. There is no limit.
So, in short, do you have ColdFusion running on your website? If not, then you will not be able to use this tag.
