Automatically selecting location

Hi all,
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere - I've searched and found nothing.
I've just had to get rid of GoGadget weather because it kept slowing my website down to a crawl. However, I did like the feature that it would display the weather of the site visitor, rather than the weather in my town.
Is there a way to get YoWindow to do this?
Thanks!

Hi Jenny,
I have no experience on this myself, but I think you'll find an answer here:
http://yowindow.com/weatherwidget.php
under All YoWindow widget parameters!:
http://yowindow.com/widget_parameters.php
Hope this helps.
Fred

Hi Jenny,
Look at my World Weather website and select World of YoWindow F or C . I am using an IP Locator to display a location reasonably close to the User's Location.
I am using 'location_auto_ip=1' instead of 'location_id=gn:123456' where 123456 is your geoid.
YoWindow also has the new Location Chooser.
I hope this information helps you.

That's cracked it, thanks folks (although auto IP has decided I live anywhere but here, as usual

).

www.gameplayjenny.com - the widget is on the right-hand side. I wish I could get a black background with white text, I must admit, but I can only get a black background with no text!

Thanks!
Just wanted to let you know it picked my location perfectly (Leiden, Netherlands).
I wouldn't know how to change the colors, but I'm sure you'll get an answer on that one
Goodluck.
Fred
