    Howdy all.

    Just finishing off an install and have programed a Colour T-screen with a HTML page containing the Bureau of meteorology weather radar on it.

    The screen goes to the page fine but doesnt bring up the actual looping picture of the radar, it has a message where the pic should be that says

    " This page contains programming that requires a scriptable browser "
    "If you have disabled scripting in browser then you may wish to enable it so the radar loop can run"

    To my knowledge i havent disabled it,

    anyone know how to fix this?

    Thanks Adam

    The BOM weather radar pages require javascript to be enabled in the browser in order to display the loop.

    Unfortunately the browser in the Colour C-Touch has always had javascript disabled, so the BOM weather radar loop has never worked.

    In my own installation I just point the browser to the latest of the 4 images in the loop and make do with that.

    I suppose if you wanted you could probably write some logic code to load the 4 images in 4 different webcam components, make them the same size and position, and then show/hide them in sequence to obtain the same effect. I haven't tried this myself though!

    I just had a quick look and unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a static URL available for the 3 previous images so scratch that idea.
