First I'd like to thank you for a great widget! But like all greedy people I'd like it kicked up a notch...I would like site visitors to be able input their zipcode and get their local weather..
Thanks, Daniel.

Re: Request
Hi Daniel,
Welcome to YoWindow.
The Widget has a 'Location Selector' version.
Your visitor cannot select by zipcode. But they can select by the town or city.
You can find this on the Widget Creation page.
Have fun with it.

Re: Request
O.k. now I'm feeling dumb... I was able to install the regular widget with no problem. The Selector widget I can't get to work. Not even when copying the source code from the demo page! Any idea of what I might be doing wrong?

Re: Request
Daniel, maybe you would like the widget to automatically detect the user location?

Hi Daniel,
Are loading your html file from your hard drive? If you are it won't work. The location chooser version of YoWindow must be loaded from a server. I tested the code you posted and it does work.
