======================================================================= THIS IS A README FILE FOR THE WEB PAGE AT: ------------------------------------------ http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/localweather/radar.html ======================================================================= --------------- HOW THIS WORKS: --------------- * This radar page uses frames, http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/localweather/leftframe.html and html pages in http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/localweather/radar/ * The left frame page uses javascript to control what is viewed in the right frame based on what form elements/buttons are checked. * Rick Kohrs put together the scripts (on trinity.ssec.wisc.edu) which generates this data and copies it over to this web server * Bill Bellon wrote the HTML, JavaScript and Perl script * the HTML is maintained by using a Perl script that uses templates to generate all of the HTML that is viewed in the right frame ------------------- HOW TO MODIFY HTML: ------------------- 1) backup and then modify the appropriate template in /var/apache/www/htdocs/localweather/radar/templates/ 2) backup and then modify, IF necessary the Perl script that generates the HTML for all of the animations and single image views with overlays. This script can be found at /var/apache/www/htdocs/localweather/radar/make_html.pl 3) backup and then modify, IF necessary the *.js JavaScript files referenced in /var/apache/www/htdocs/localweather/leftframe.html 4) run above Perl script ------------------------- Features/changes to make: ------------------------- * refer to notebook and PDA for additional to do items ---------------- Bugs to resolve: ---------------- * inability to write cookies for Safari - a test example works, but this particular application doesn't - what happens is that the cookieValue prior to being sent to the function "setCookie()" is non-null, but inside the function "setCookie()", the cookieValue becomes null
