Blog Widget

[digitalchaos]

I am using the blog widget. I used the widget generator at http://yowindow.com/weatherwidget.php. When i copy and paste the code it shows New York City. How can i have it show Pikeville? As it shows on the generator page is correct.
The code below is Pikeville but will not show pikeville on my site. You can see it here.

Could it be that i have the code in blockquote? I am not sure what is going on i just copy and paste the code. I did re size a bit. I don't think that would affect anything. Btw thanx for the quick response.

Beats me...

I just copied/pasted the code you just posted in notepad...

Saved it as pikefield.html

Hi Wanda,

when i have a look at the sourcecode of your blog (Firefox, view sourcecode) i can see that within the generated code from YoWindow there are 2 "<br />"s - see the following screenshot. Could you try to delete them from your blog and tell us if that helped you out?

Hi Michael,

Please look at http://yowindow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1244&p=4692 . You can also look at the website of portaleazzurro .

In August of 2010, Franco wanted to add YoWindow Widget to WordPress and had to get special code from WordPress. Franco has displayed that special code in the above topic.

I hope this helps you out.

Marty
